9 years old but relevant as ever: Audrey Watters: Claim Your Domain - And Own Your Online Presence (2016):

„The web remains. It remains a site of great hope and great promise. It remains easily readable, writable, programmable, designable, and hackable.“ (p. 20)

#DoOO #DomainOfOnesOwn

t is becoming increasingly obvious that there is no way around systematic #DomainofOnesOwn!

Or as @tante writes: "#WordPress a product that got its market and mind share because of enabling people to write, to publish, to be creative and expressive now tells you that anything you do is just data sludge to feed to whoever has the most NVIDIA cards to burn through."

OMG! There is so much to love here about these processes and to see people in the wild experimenting with them and figuring them out.

Scott (@schopie1), you are not alone! There are lots of us out here doing these things, not only with WordPress but a huge variety of other platforms. There are many ways to syndicate your content depending on where it starts its life.

In addition to Jim Groom and a huge group of others’ work within A Domain of One’s Own, there’s also a broader coalition of designers, developers, professionals, hobbyists, and people of all stripes working on these problems under the name of IndieWeb.

For some of their specific work you might appreciate the following:

• https://indieweb.org/Indieweb_for_Education
• https://indieweb.org/A_Domain_of_One%27s_Own
• https://indieweb.org/academic_samizdat
• https://indieweb.org/WordPress
• https://indieweb.org/Category:syndication

Incidentally, I wrote this for our friend Kathleen Fitzpatrick last week and I can’t wait to see what she’s come up with over the weekend and in the coming weeks. Within the IndieWeb community you’ll find people like Ben Werdmuller who created large portions of both WithKnown (aka Known) and Elgg and Aram Zucker-Scharff who helped to create PressForward.

I’m thrilled to see the work and huge strides that Humanities Commons is making some of these practices come to fruition.

If you’re game, perhaps we ought to plan an upcoming education-related popup event as an IndieWebCamp event to invite more people into this broader conversation?

If you have questions or need any help in these areas, I’m around, but so are hundreds of friends in the IndieWeb chat: https://chat.indieweb.org.

I hope we can bring more of these technologies to the masses in better and easier-to-use manners to lower the technical hurdles.
