WordPress, Micropub and Featured Images
With Micropub image uploads working, I thought it’d be nice to just make the first uploaded image the Featured Image. Continue reading WordPress, Micropub and Featured Images →

Micropub, Crossposting to Twitter, and Enabling “Tweetstorms”
I liked the idea of a dead-simple Twitter plugin, so I forked my Mastodon plugin and tweaked a few things here and there. Continue reading Micropub, Crossposting to Twitter, and Enabling “Tweetstorms” →
Feed Thoughts
Somehow, I found out, my feed reader had turned Dries Buytaert’s latest blog post into a bit of a mess. Feeding X-Ray the feed URL revealed the issue. Continue reading Feed Thoughts →
Adding Microformats to WordPress’s Twenty Twenty Theme
I recently moved another blog of mine back to “plain” WordPress, and in the process added microformats2 support to its Twenty Twenty child theme. Continue reading Adding Microformats to WordPress’s Twenty Twenty Theme →
Sending Webmention Notifications to My Social Reader
I’ve only now started using my Microsub server’s Notifications channel. Here’s how I’m pushing a new notification to it everytime I receive a new webmention on my blog. Continue reading Sending Webmention Notifications to My Social Reader →
Micropub, Syndication Targets, and Crossposting to Mastodon
One of the many things Micropub offers, is a way to indicate which other platforms posts should be syndicated to. Here’s how I’ve made Micropub’s syndication targets work with the plugin I use to crosspost to Mastodon. Continue reading Micropub, Syndication Targets, and Crossposting to Mastodon →
Owning My Watch Later List
I don’t actually use YouTube a whole lot, but I’ve absolutely stolen Marty McGuire’s idea for “owning your ‘Watch Later’ list.” Here’s the approach I came up with. Continue reading Owning My Watch Later List →
“Tootstorms” using Micropub and Share on Mastodon
I mostly use Indigenous, on Android, and Micropub to post “Tweetstorm-like” status threads to this blog. Like, I’ll post a note, navigate to it, post a reply, and so on. Using a fairly simple WordPress hook, I can crosspost these complete threads to Mastodon, too. Continue reading “Tootstorms” using Micropub and Share on Mastodon →
Automatically Destroy IndieAuth Tokens
If you’re running WordPress and use the wonderful IndieAuth plugin to issue tokens for all of your IndieWeb services, here’s how you can automatically invalidate—destroy, in fact—these tokens. Continue reading Automatically Destroy IndieAuth Tokens →
IndieWeb Adventures
Here’s something on the order in which I, sometimes partially, implemented different IndieWeb concepts on this site. Continue reading IndieWeb Adventures →
My HTML Feeds
I’ve been, over the course of the last few months, experimenting with (both RSS and) h-feeds, a lot. The following pages or sections now sport full-on h-feeds … Continue reading My HTML Feeds →
Adding an OPML Endpoint to My Aperture Instance
I was looking for a way to easily import feeds into Aperture, actually, and then I realized it’s not hard at all to add an export endpoint instead. Continue reading Adding an OPML Endpoint to My Aperture Instance →
Using Docker to Run Aperture, a Microsub Server
A Microsub server—like Aperture—is very much like an RSS feed aggregator, though it supports more than just RSS, like JSON, and even Microformats. Most, if not all, Microsub servers also require a separate client-side application. An IndieWeb reader, if you like. Now, because of Aperture’s many dependencies, I’ve gone the Docker Compose route. Continue reading Using Docker to Run Aperture, a Microsub Server →
Adding Some Context to (Web)mentions
I decided to have a look at how WordPress generates its increasingly rare pingback “previews.” The result is a somewhat ugly PHP function that, given an HTML string and target URL, returns the link text, plus some of the text surrounding it. Continue reading Adding Some Context to (Web)mentions →
Customize “Share on Mastodon” Statuses
Sometime last year, I wrote a (rather opinionated) plugin that automatically shares WordPress posts on Mastodon. While the Settings page lets you choose which posts will be POSSE’d, most “customizing” is made possible through filter hooks. Continue reading Customize “Share on Mastodon” Statuses →
