Basic-ish #jekyll stuff but I just posted a new #devlog about using Jekyll's powerful "collections" feature.

Using multiple collections and remembering to use collections whenever you can makes building new cool stuff for the site A LOT easier.

Also worth mentioning that in the #indieweb world, having multiple "types" of posts (i.e. "post", "note", etc…) is a valued characteristic (per #indiemark at least https://indieweb.org/IndieMark#Level_2_posts)

#blogging

In 2019 I started my blog but knew nothing of the #IndieWeb or #SmallWeb. Thanks in large part to the awesome #Mastodon community I was introduced to these concepts and have been diving in ever since, adding IndieWeb capabilities to my site and exploring the Indie World in its entirety. To help introduce others to the IndieWeb as well as catalog useful/interesting things I encounter I decided to write a post about it.

That piece features a few cool lists like a list of webrings, blogrolls, IndieWeb search engines, indie site hosting providers and more!

To further help “score” my site on its “IndieWeb-ness”, I also wrote the following post about #IndieMark which includes my site’s score.

As a starting line for my #indieweb run, I've benchmarked my site using the IndieWeb.org #indiemark spec https://shellsharks.com/indiemark-score.

Currently sitting at Level 0 (of 6-ish total levels). I got a lot of fun work ahead of me!
