I’ve previously talked about how I crosspost from this blog to my Mastodon account without the need for a third-party service, and how I leverage WordPress’s hook system to even enable toot threading. In this post, I’m going to really quickly explain my (extremely similar) Twitter setup. (Note: I don’t actually syndicate this blog’s posts to Twitter, but I do use this very setup on another site of mine.) I liked the idea of a dead-simple Twitter plugin, so I forked… Continue reading Micropub, Crossposting to Twitter, and Enabling “Tweetstorms” →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

Seriously, the Webmention protocol’s a lot like Pingback. Wikipedia kind of nails it, when it states “Webmention [is] a modern re-implementation of [Ping… Continue reading IndieWeb Adventures →

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 →

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 →

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 →
