On a recent walk I listened to Unmasking Misogyny on Radio Open Source. One of the guests, Danielle McGuire, told the story of Rosa Parks’ activism in a way I hadn’t heard before. I wanted to capture that segment of the show, save a link to it, and bookmark the link for future reference.
Jon, this is certainly an awesome and interesting way to target audio on the web, which can be tremendously useful. Given what you've got here, I suspect that you may be unaware of the W3C spec for media fragments which may make portions of what you're attempting to do a bit easier (and also much…
Your post reminded me of a challenge I see every time Couros posts about students having those three aspects of a digital identity: no matter how much we as educators may encourage this, ultimately it is up to the students to make it part of their lives. I have been blogging with my students for some years now, and when it is not a class requirement, they stop posting. I think part of this digital presence that we want students to establish – the \”residency,\” as Robert Schuetz said in the recent blog post that led me here (http://www.rtschuetz.net/2016/02/mapping-our-pangea.html) – is not always happening where we suggest. I know my students have an online presence – but it\’s on Instagram and Snapchat, not the blogsphere. Perhaps instead of dragging kids on vacation to where we think they should set up shop, we need to start following them to their preferred residences and help them turn those into sturdy, worthy places from which to venture out into the world.
This is certainly an intriguing way to look at it, but there's another way to frame it as well. Students are on sites like Instagram and Snapchat because they're connecting with their friends there. I doubt many (any?) are using those platforms for learning or engagement purposes, so attempting to engage with them there may…
Here’s the latest version of my quick-reply bookmarklet. It lets me reply to any URL now, not just tweet URLs.
Copy and paste the below as a bookmark, changing http://example.com/endpoint/?url= to your desired endpoint.
javascript:(function(){var endpoint='http://example.com/endpoint/?url=';if(document.location.hostname=='twitter.com'){var container;if(!(container=document.querySelector('.selected-stream-item'))){if(!(container=document.querySelector('.permalink-tweet-container'))){alert('Could not find tweet permalink. Are you sure a specific tweet is selected?');return false;}}var in_reply_to='https://twitter.com'+container.children[0].getAttribute('data-permalink-path');window.open(endpoint+encodeURIComponent(in_reply_to));}else{var in_reply_to=document.location.href;window.open(endpoint+encodeURIComponent(in_reply_to));}}())
Thanks gRegor! This seems to work like a charm with the Post Kinds Plugin endpoints.
Simple Twitter UI buttons on an IndieWeb-enabled site can allow Twitter to become part of your commenting system.
David Shanske has kindly improved the Post Kinds plugin (v2.7.6) to include audio posts out of the box. This reminds me I need to get back to making my microcast so that I've got more than just the one episode.

It's the holiday season and I've already gotten dozens of letters, emails, and calls for support for a variety of charities. Also in the wake of Patreon's recent attempt to change their payments structure, I've recently seen some people attempting to set up their own payment pages to allow people to support their work or…
Much like profile pages found on social sites and crowdfunding sites (like Patreon, Kickstarter, Go Fund Me, Facebook, etc.) this page is the beginning of showing which organizations, institutions, artists, and other entities which I'm supporting with a mixture of my time, talent and/or treasure. If you're looking for something to support yourself, I can…
Work on your #newwwyear Resolution to have a better website for 2018
I've switched over to David Shanske's IndieWeb-friendly fork of the TwentySixteen Theme tonight. Liking it a lot so far. Can't wait to see what little surprises I run across under the hood and how we can potentially make it better for the community.
How many more times do people have to get stiffed by a free web service that just bites the dust and leaves you bubkas?
A monster post, some ranting on companies like Storify who offer free services that leverage our effort to get worth enough to get sold – when they do they just yank our content, an approach for local archiving your storify dying content, a new home spun tool for extracting all embeddable content links and how to use it to create your own archives in WordPress.
Storify Is Nuking, for no credible reason, All Your Content
Okay there are two kinds of people or organizations that create things for the web. One is looking to make money or fame and cares not what happens once they get either (or none and go back to flipping burgers). The other has an understanding and care for the history and future of the web, and makes every effort to make archived content live on, to not leave trails of dead links.
I like Alan Levine's take on type one and type two silo services. Adobe/Storify definitely seems to be doing things the wrong way for shutting down a service. He does a great job of laying out some thought on how to create collection posts, particularly on WordPress, though I suspect the user interface could easily…
Introduction to what one would consider basic web communication A few days ago I had written a post on my website and a colleague had written a reply on his own website. Because we were both using the W3C Webmention specification on our websites, my site received the notification of his response and displayed it…

Inspired by gRegor Morrill's IndieWebCamp Austin project, I went back and took a look at some of my read posts, and particularly for books. For online material, I use the Post Kinds Plugin which does a good job of adding h-cite and p-read-of (experimental) microformats classes to the data for the things I've read. Because…
