RSVPed Attending Virtual Homebrew Website Club Meetup on July 25, 2018

Are you building your own website? Indie reader? Personal publishing web app? Or some other digital magic-cloud proxy? If so, come on by and join a gathering of people with likeminded interests. Bring your friends who want to start a personal web site. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, help work on a project…

Everyone of every level is welcome to participate! Don’t have a domain yet? Come along and someone can help you get started and provide resources for creating the site you’ve always wanted.

This virtual HWC meeting is for site builders who either can’t make a regular in-person meeting or don’t yet have critical mass to host one in their area. It will be hosted on Google Hangouts.

I’ve never done it before, and I’ve never received one myself, but I’m going to send some invitations (via webmention) to folks to join me. I’m curious how the original post will handle it and what Semantic Linkbacks will do and what it will display. Semantic Linkbacks is set up to display RSVP:Invitations, but I’m not sure what will happen. So this post will serve as a test and we’ll see! Is anyone else supporting invitations (sending or displaying)? In the future I could see supporting an Event Invitations page similar to my Mentions page which displays all the events I’ve been invited to.

Incidentally I’m noticing that there’s also an issue in the latest update that RSVP’s on prior event posts aren’t facepiling like they should/used to.

Reply to zeldman about ALA article on webmention

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 philosophies to Drupal since February.

Additional details and documentation can be found on the Drupal page of the IndieWeb wiki.

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 for more creative and apropos analogy much less a piece of artwork.

I’ll also give an exuberant thank you to my fantastic editor Nick Tucker who stuck with me through thick, think, time zone differences, and head colds for each of us to finally get the piece across the finish line. I’ll send him my apologies again for the flabbiness of the original draft which should have had one more go-round before he bothered to read it. But in the end it’s far better for his care and attention.

And finally, a special thanks and a big shout out to the brilliance, creativity, and tenacity of all those (big and small) in the IndieWeb community who so heavily influenced not on the piece, but my life in general. You’re all making the web and the world a better place for the care you put into your work (and play).

Thanks again Dougal, Nick, and IndieWeb!

Reply to Aaron Davis about images in h-cards

Replied to a post by Aaron DavisAaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)
@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 of photos not showing up in webmentions I receive. Typically they’re for WordPress or micro.blog sites which may mean issues for Gravatar-based images.

If you want to fix them manually, a recent update allows this.
