Replied to KTracy.com Is Adopting IndieWeb (or at least trying to). Here’s Why. by Kevin Tracy (Kevin Tracy)

Last Night, I began the process of adopting IndieWeb’s tools onto KTracy.com. Right now, it’s still experimental and a couple of insignificant things broke. It doesn’t really aff…

Congratulations on going IndieWeb!

It took me a while to puzzle it out when I first ran across it, but the text you mention: Kevin Tracy is occurring because you’re using the microformats 2 plugin which tries to inject the p-author h-card portion into your page, but it’s having a conflict with your theme which is escaping the output for that author section. (More details on this known issue here.)

Chances are pretty good that you could deactivate the microformats plugin to fix the cosmetic issue without causing other major issues. Depending on your theme’s native microformats markup, you may likely find that you don’t see or experience any other major issues with any of the other technology. The one issue I’ve seen people come across here is if they’re using Brid.gy to syndicate their content via webmention to Twitter, in which case having stronger markup becomes much more important. Hopefully this will at least help you track down and either fix the issue or figure out the best way around it for your particular needs.

I’m curious to see what you think of it after a while, particularly once you’ve started interacting with other sites via Webmention.
