If you have a blog and write/share useful things (big or small) about Web design / front-end dev and you provide an RSS feed to the blog, please respond to this tweet w/ the URL for it — I’d like to add more useful content feeds to my reader.
I tinker on my own website and frequently write about IndieWeb related technologies because the web is my social media platform. The feed you might appreciate most is https://boffosocko.com/category/indieweb/feed/. I have feeds for nearly every tag/category or post type on my site for convenience (just add /feed/ to almost anything). You could subscribe to my firehose…
As I prep for DrupalCamp LA this weekend I'm considering how fun and impressive it's been watching folks like Kristof De Jaeger (t) & Dries Buytaert (t) bring Webmention and other #IndieWeb philosophies to Drupal since February. https://www.drupal.org/project/indieweb Additional details and documentation can be found on the Drupal page of the IndieWeb wiki.
The web is increasingly inhabited by the remains of its departed users, a phenomenon that has given rise to a burgeoning digital afterlife industry. This industry requires a framework for dealing with its ethical implications. The regulatory conventions guiding archaeological exhibitions could provide the basis for such a framework.
Some interesting potential research and references for the IndieWeb longevity page.
I wanted to take a moment to say a very special thank you to Dougal MacPherson who drew the spectacular cartoon header for my article that appeared in A List Apart today. The sketch is full of whimsy and has an entertaining yet subversive subtext that so wonderfully underlines the piece. I couldn't have asked…
@chrisaldrich did you document anywhere how to change the default image associated with posts? At the moment it is using my profile pic, which does not work.
Also on: Twitter
Associated how? In the webmentions you send? Typically the receiving site will parse your page to find the h-card and pull out the u-photo for it, so depending on your theme or a custom marked up h-card, that will dictate the photo that shows up. I have been noticing some issues recently with a lot…
Editor's note: This is a copy of an article that was originally published on A List Apart. Over 1 million Webmentions will have been sent across the internet since the specification was made a full Recommendation by the W3C—the standards body that guides the direction of the web—in early January 2017. That number is rising…
I am a retired software developer, former lead developer of WordPress, and co-conspirator emeritus at Automattic. I live in Dripping Springs Texas at the Irie Smial Preserve amidst a familial motley of non-compliant, neurodivergent garage hobbits.
Check Twitter and Micro.blog for my heartbeat. That’s where I hang out the most.
WordPress, Education, moral edtech, even the words commonplace book in the tagline of one of his websites! I suspect that Ryan is my online doppleganger. It also looks like he's thinking about and doing some of the same things that Aaron Davis, Ian O'Byrne, John Johnston, Greg McVerry and others are doing.
@photomatt I recall the jokes made about crusty blogrolls when we deprecated the links manager. Now, folks are exhuming it for use as their canonical OPML source to feed OPML subscriptions. https://t.co/Lt6cpWwkuj
There’s a part of me that wants links to come back first class and be added to Calypso (with some Reader integration). That’d be a nice thing for IndieWeb and indie ed-tech movements. Also, an easier IndieWeb onboarding experience. Gimme an IndieWeb toggle on .com.
There's an open web and ownership moment happening right now. It's pretty cool. The flow is rough, though. One small but impactful example: title-less microblogging means an interface full of (no title) in Calypso.
Oh there's just so much to say about the start of this thread, and it gives me so much hope for the open web as well as potential growth for WordPress. Link Manager Update The Link Manager still seems relatively solid and much of the infrastructure still works well, despite the warnings and lack of…
Articles 1, 5, and 6 in this highlighted series for Twitter will get you most of the functionality (and then some). However once you've enabled some of these related plugins, you can also do so much more than just use your site to interact with Twitter.
Yesterday after discovering it on Xavier Roy's site I was reminded that the Post Kinds Plugin is built on a custom taxonomy and, as a result, has the ability to output its taxonomy in typical WordPress Tag Cloud widget. I had previously been maintaining/displaying a separate category structure for Kinds, which I always thought was a…
I am adding in information associated with author and source, however this is not being displayed when published.
@mrkrndvs This is because the photo template doesn't call these particular details even though they may be provided. I could see an occasional use for including them, particularly to give credit to a photo that was taken by someone else, while in practice most may not use this because they're posting their own photos. In…
Having created a chicken feed on my personal website really brings me a lot of joy... How can you not love this? It could have been a like or a favorite or even a jam post, but the chicken post really just transcends it all.
My friend Alan Jacobs, a key inspiration in my return (such as it is, so far) to blogging and RSS and a generally pre-Twitter/Facebook outlook on the scholarly internet, is pondering the relationship between blogging and other forms of academic writing in thinking about his next project. Perhaps needless to say, this is something I’m considering as well, and I’m right there with him in most regards.
But there are a few spots where I’m not, entirely, and I’m not sure whether it’s a different perspective or a different set of experiences, or perhaps the latter having led to the former.
I really like where you're coming from on so many fronts here (and on your site in general). Thanks for such a great post on a Friday afternoon. A lot of what you're saying echos the ideas of many old school bloggers who use their blogs as "thought spaces". They write, take comments, iterate, hone,…
