Retiring the Likes feed

Likes All Things Must Pass.

This will be the last IndieWeb “like” entry to appear in its own feed. I’ve been rethinking, replatforming, and redesigning my site in the last couple months, and decided I will no longer be publishing “likes” in their own feed when I update DNS settings and move to the new site. All the previous “Likes” will be archived as Notes and will be findable by using a […]

Hello again

It’s been a while! My site has fallen majorly by the wayside which both feels appropriate (see first point below) and makes me a bit sad. There’s a lot I’ve already forgotten. I want to analyze a bit more why I haven’t been posting… but that’s something I need to think a bit more about first.

A few notes to catch up on major points, and then hopefully back to posting semi-regularly.

The future of this website

These are loosely held thoughts, not final decisions. I thought I’d just share these [possible breaking changes] if it helps anyone out there.

now now now

Made a couple updates to my /now page.

This thing is now powered by several widgets pulling in stuff automatically, plus some blocks of text I update manually.

My latest status, powered by status.lol. (daily-ish?)

What I’m up to these days, powered by the block editor.(seasonally)

A quick note on cross-posting

In IndieWeb parlance, POSSE means Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. I like the concept. Today, I’m changing a few things about how I syndicate my content.

All my main feeds (posts, notes, likes) will continue to automatically syndicate to my account over at Micro.blog. Micro.blog is a wonderful platform. While I no longer host my content […]

Loves

I added a new page to my site at /loves.

I already have IndieWeb “likes“, but I thought it would be nice to add a site section for things I love, or have meant a lot to me over the past decades. Currently: favorite newspaper comics, sports teams, music, and “Misc.”

Loosely inspired by The Loved List by Ankur Sethi, […]

Further thoughts on a short ramble

Likes Professional Space / Personal Space by Joe Crawford.
There’s certainly a tension between wanting to contain a sprawling web presence or fragmenting my activity and behavior online. Sitting with that tension, for now, is how I will approach things.

I broke ActivityPub on my site.

I don’t know how all this is supposed to work, but I got some help from my host and the plugin support forum. Hopefully things are working again now.
