On this other WordPress-powered site of mine, I’ve been using the following Akismet alternative to effectively fight Contact Form 7 spam: a combination of a honeypot and WordPress’s built-in blocklist. Continue reading Fight Contact Form 7 Spam →
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 →
Here’s something on the order in which I, sometimes partially, implemented different IndieWeb concepts on this site. 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.

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 →
I’ve again changed the way certain Post Types’ slugs are being generated. Continue reading Truly Random Post Slugs →
