Ryan Barrett (snarfed.org)I’ve spent most of my time in the IndieWeb on backfeed: sending interactions from social networks back to your web site. Bridgy, the service we built, has served that need wel...
I’ve obviously read this before, but somehow I’ve now got some new respect for the basis of the broader underlying idea.
Amanda (Twitter)I used to, every year, name a Blogger of the Year.

I wanted to keep the idea alive, that amateur writing has a place on the web.
The last couple of years my focus has been elsewhere, even though in 2017, I took a fresh approach to my own blog, with imho excellent results.I don't have a choice for this year.

If you have a favorite blogger, perhaps a blog that goes with a favorite podcast, please add a link to this thread.
Here's to another great year in 2020, and remember it's even worse than it appears. ;-)https://t.co/xTqU4jQYEoAnybody participating in the #IndieWeb my favorites include Chris Aldrich at https://t.co/aXPjOBmFXn but there are tons more.

What a fantastic vote of confidence! I’ll take it.
David Shanske (david.shanske.com)Released some minor bugfix editions today.
Simple Location
- Rounds all numbers to a maximum of two decimal points, as I introduced a bug in the last version that would fail to fill in numbers in the post editor due form validation requirements.
- Extracts additional location information from Compass…mostly the information I store when I’m on a plane, to generate a better description of the location. It also passes this info to WordPress more effectively so it could do more in future.
- I also introduced a new location provider. If set, if you enter a 3 letter airport code in the location name box, it will replace it with the location and name of that airport, as well as the weather. In future, I may add a similar reverse address lookup for people.
- Misc bug fixes
Syndication Links
- Some bug fixes introduced in 4.2.0
- Due to the request to allow syndication provider checkboxes to be checked by default, I introduced two new filters: syndication_link_checked and syndication_link_disabled. The first parameter of each is a boolean that if true, will set either checked or disabled on that Syndication Provider. The second and third parameter is the uid of the provider and the post_id of the post.
Hooray!
YOU KNOW SHIT IS GOING DOWN WHEN @NYTIMES RUNS ALL CAPS HEADLINES
An interesting way to track only the BIGGEST NEWS.
Steve Layton (shindakun.dev)As part of getting back into using micro.blog I’ve been working to customize my hosted site. One of the things I wanted to do was add webmentions rather then comments like Disqus.
Aaron Parecki (Aaron Parecki)I'm super happy to announce the launch of a new website for IndieWeb events at events.indieweb.org! This website is a place to find and post events for the IndieWeb community.
This is HUGE! Thanks Aaron. I’ve been thinking of restarting HWC-LA, and this is just the sort of motivation that helps tremendously! This is such a huge contribution that it ought to be able to fill up all the empty slots in the IndieWeb giving calendar this month. Wow, just wow!
Aaron Parecki (Aaron Parecki)I realized I have been avoiding leaving tips in Foursquare because I didn't have a good way to post them from my website. So today I added the ability to syndicate my posts as Foursquare tips.
Very slick Aaron!
fluffy (beesbuzz.biz)Recently I finally set up a shopping site for me to sell some of my art and other merch. In doing so I evaluated a bunch of different shopping cart providers, and decided I should share my findings.

Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)So, that's it, then. My prediction is that Brexit will happen as planned in 2020, and that later in the year, unless the progressive movement achieves the impossible, Donald Trump will be re-elected as President. If you work for a company like Facebook, this is on you. If you could have voted but di...
Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)As arbitrary as they are, these transitions provide a kind of useful punctuation - a spot to stop and breathe. For me, I think it might be useful to reflect on where I was at the start of the previous decade, where I am now, and where I'd like to be ten years from now.Ten years ago I lived in Oxford...
David Shanske (david.shanske.com)Chanukah is upon us next week, and I’ve added to my Youtube Chanukah playlist, which complements my digital music collection of Chanukah songs. It includes some fun ones from Acapella groups that do an annual Chanukah song. I have over 150 tracks otherwise…and may pick up more ideas… Sirius XM’s Radio Hanukkah launches December 20th to 31st on Channel 788. Chanukah is an 8 night holiday, gets 11 days of music. Christmas gets 11 Sirius channels that begin November 1st…Clearly we need more Chanukah songs…they are running out.
I only know of two Sirius channels, so apparently I’m missing out on the Christmas craziness. Do they have channels for every genre of music? And if so, what are the genres of Chanukah? With any luck, one of them is all Klezmer all the time…
I just set up b2evolution CMS/blog(s) ver 6.11.4. It has the ability to send and receive Webmentions as per the Indieweb. This was discussed before but now I can confirm. I’m still wandering around the backend getting familier with it.
