Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on Here’s something on the order in which I, sometimes partially, implemented different IndieWeb concepts on this site. I’m planning to add and rewrite, I dont know, something, so I’m not yet publicly publicly publishing it. I’m like that sometimes. Webmention Webmentions are like pingbacks, minus the downsides. 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on 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 →
Jan Boddez on I’ve again changed the way certain Post Types’ slugs are being generated. Continue reading Truly Random Post Slugs →
