When you’re striving to make your students’ lives just a click easier by embedding an article in your syllabus or posting it to Blackboard (or another online learning environment), however, it’s important to embed the link to the article rather than the PDF of the article itself. It’s easy to do; you simply paste the link from JSTOR or MUSE into the same field you would paste a document or PDF. It’s no more difficult for the students, and it makes a big difference to the journals whose articles you’re teaching.
I can't help but read this and think that there's a good use case for the Webmention spec here. Similar to my thinking in IndieWeb and Academic Research and Publishing, it seems relatively obvious that professors could be referencing the DOIs or other permalink URLs for journals and articles they're assigning and sending webmentions so…
Yesterday I realized that I would really love a standalone app for publishing to Micro.blog that was focused on WordPress. The app itself would be structured very simply: it would open to a list of…
This sounds like something I think a lot of people would want. I know I do. It'd be particularly great if one could also simultaneously update/edit micro.blog posts as well, particularly when one is syndicating them to micro.blog via a feed. (Or does micro.blog accept fat pings to update the content? and maybe add some…
In the Interdisciplinary Studies program where I have begun working, we encourage students to go public with their work. It’s a common idea well beyond interdisciplinary studies: for students to feel more engaged with the work they do, to feel that what they are doing matters, they need to do that...
An interesting take on open pedagogy to be sure. On my own website, I often default to public without taking much thought for the difference between open vs. private--though to be sure I do have a lot of private posts hidden on my back end that only I or other invited guests can view. This…
As I look at some of the websites being created for the EDU522 class, it's exciting to see what people are creating and how they're expressing themselves. As hinted at in the Who Am I module, I do think it may be useful for some to think about the readability and accessibility of their sites.…
Instead of 'eliminating' divisions, or 'blowing up' silos....let's use metaphors about bridging, connecting, unifying, transcending, collaborating across borders.... connecting all of the groups within an organization in a coherent way so that they all work seemlessly together.
The #IndieWeb community has been working on this for a while. There's even a service called Brid.gy to help enact it. At the same time, as Ben Werdmüller indicates, we need to be careful not to put too much reliance on silos' APIs which can, and obviously will, be pulled out from underneath us at any moment.…

I’m hitting a fork in the road with this site and the experiment of using a blog as a directory of blogs. The problem here is me: I’m running out of time. I’m duplicating a lot …

Brad, much like Kicks Condor, I think you're making a laudable effort, and one of the ways our work grows is to both keep up with it and experiment around. If I recall, programming wasn't necessarily your strong suit, but like many in the IndieWeb will say: "Manual until it hurts!" By doing things manually,…
Chris’s passion is sharing tech knowledge and other help for humans. In addition to the microcast, Chris blogs, podcasts, and writes a newsletter. “If you’re not sharing your thoughts, opinions, or what’s inside of you, you need to know that your voice matters.”
I'll have to take a look at Chris' podcast. I wonder if he's been to any of the Bellingham Homebrew Website Club meetups or perhaps the IWC in 2017? I'm also interested to hear more about his technology career in higher education. Perhaps he might be interested in joining some of us in IndieWeb for Education?
Looks like I've finally got IndieAuth and my headers working with OwnYourSwarm properly and have checkin data being PESOSed from Swarm/FourSquare to my website now. Hooray! I still have a few minor tweaks to get things working properly with Post Kinds to display everything correctly, but I feel like I'm almost there. Next we'll have…
Need to read more about webmentions. I like https://t.co/OZ8c3cSblj style annotations. Wonder if something like that but run by trusted journos would be interesting
@dangillmore, @froomkin and other journos have played around with @hypothes_is (which has private group functionality): Interesting use of annotation (notably using open-source hypothes.is instead of a proprietary product) in journalism. https://t.co/yAWEWXfJLN— Dan Gillmor (@dangillmor) July 23, 2017 @dwhly et al have started discussing adding webmentions as well: Join the conversation with myself @ChrisAldrich, @wiobyrne, @kfitz…
I've long felt that webmentions would be a perfect fit for #WordPress core. This article makes me even more sure. Let's get to work! https://t.co/hBofSwJruR
Mathias Pfefferle, David Shanske, and 700+ others have been self-dogfooding Webmention for a while. Feel free to join us in the IndieWeb #WordPress chat to talk about some remaining work and support it might require to do so.
Kathleen did you own the domain where Planned Obsolescence1 was peer-reviewed? It may be one of the first major examples of book-length online academic samizdat of which I'm aware. Perhaps you know of others which could be documented? I suspect we could help provide additional exemplars and links to other web technology, platforms, plugins, etc.…
I'm tossing around the idea of starting a podcast network. Not some much for ad revenue but to make it easy and cheap for people who want to start a podcast to get hosting.
Basically I'd cover the hosting and standing up the site + RSS feed for people. Then I'd offer guides on equipment to buy and give editing tutorials for newbies.
Taylor, If it helps a bit, Manton Reece [(@manton), (@manton)] fairly recently created a microcast network and some tools to help people create, host, and distribute short podcasts with micro.blog. It's an interesting model and one which could eventually be built upon as a minimal product for adding additional features and tools. Additionally Aaron Parecki…
It’s become a bit of a running joke amongst my tech friends. A personal meme that I keep repeating the same sort of phase when questioned about a whole range of topics. Anything from GDPR to Social Media harassment my answer – micro.blog.

Micro.blog can certainly be many things to many people--possibly too many. In large part, what it is depends on what tools you're bringing into it and how you'd like to use it. It can be: a web host a Twitter replacement a Twitter client that allows you to own your own data a Instagram replacement…

There are still some wrinkles to be ironed out in getting the various platforms we use today to play well with Webmentions, but it’s a real step toward the goal of that decentralized, distributed, interconnected future for scholarly communication. ❧
...the upshot is that this relatively new web standard allows for round-tripped connections among discrete domains, enabling the conversation about an individual post to be represented on that post, wherever it might actually take place. ❧
The fun, secret part is that Kathleen hasn't (yet?) discovered IndieAuth so that she can authenticate/authorize micropub clients like Quill to publish content to her own site from various clients by means of a potential micropub endpoint. I'll suspect she'll be even more impressed when she realizes that there's a forthcoming wave of feed…
