  • WordPress Plugin: Filter comments by Webmentions

    ⬇ Download on GitHub Donate A simple WordPress plugin to add the option to filter comments by Webmentions in the WordPress admin. A new Webmentions option is added to the list. I’m sprucing up Webmentions on my personal blog and I found it convenient to be able to filter my comments by Webmentions in the…

  • Ron Chester on Webmentions

    Ron Chester: I have only one reservation about the development of this IndieWeb stuff. While it is in progress, most of these websites have disabled regular comments, if they ever had them. Often there is also no contact information given, or it takes a lot of hunting on their websites to find it. So if…

  • Webmention on Micro.blog

    Manton Reece: We’ve been improving Micro.blog’s support for Webmention. When you reply to a post on Micro.blog, from the web or iOS app, it will ping the site you’re replying to, giving that site a chance to include the comment. Kudos to Manton as Webmentions seems to work beautifully is Micro.blog. The improvements show and…

  • Supporting WebMentions

    Jeremy Cherfas, in response to a recent post of mine: Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he’s "just going to publish her on my blog". I guess that means he’s not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there’s no compulsion to POSSE to be…

  • An interview with Manton Reece for 2024

    I interviewed Manton Reece about his journey with Micro.blog in 2018 and again in 2019. They’ve been fun to look back on as the service matures, grows, and changes. I’m a big fan of Micro.blog and the community there (follow me there, if you’d like) and Manton was very gracious to agree to be interviewed…

  • Projects

    Below is a list of a few of my projects. Some are free, some are affordably priced. Most are open source. Please consider donating to support their development. If you’d like to read why I make these, I wrote about that. StripeTransfer.com A reliable service that I provide for clients that need to transfer Stripe…

  • Blogging is alive and well

    Oh man am I happy! People that hadn’t written on their blog in a long time are blogging again. Websites that hadn’t been updated in many years, some over a decade, are being spruced up and published to again. And popular news outlets are publishing articles about blogging. Of course, those of us that have…

  • I am quitting social media

    Mostly. And, for a year. Or more. What started out as a routine flushing of my social media accounts, something I’ve done on more than one occasion in the past, has now turned into a strong desire to leave social media behind for good. And so I’m doing just that. My main reasons for waiting…

  • Dave Rupert on blog post hits

    Dave Rupert: Two posts that I thought would be bangers got nearly zero reach. The inverse law of blogging strikes again! The Surprise Chain is a post I quite literally worked on for over six years, but it got under a thousand hits. CSS Modules-in-CSS Module Scripts did a little better but I’m not cashing any blogging…

  • Christian McGregor on blogging our choices

    Christian McGregor, in response to my photo library management workflow post: I appreciate the effort people take to post things like this. Every post adds to the pool of knowledge to help avoid easily made but difficult to change mistakes, like Colin’s own findings when depending on Apple Photos as the main tool. I appreciate that Christian…

  • Cypress is now available for free on Micro.blog

    If you’re a member of Micro.blog you can now choose to use Cypress as your theme for free. Log in and click on your Design settings page, and choose the theme. That’s it. I’m happy that this came together. I thought it might be fun to make a Micro.blog theme and when I tossed the…

  • Michelle Barker’s typical day

    Michelle Barker: If you’re reading this I probably stayed up way too late to finish it. I get insomnia if I code too late, so I try to stop around 22:30 to give myself time to decompress. But if I’m deep into something then the time can run away with me. Me too. I often get the…

  • You can now follow any blog on Micro.blog

    Neat feature from Micro.blog. Here is Manton Reece, from his personal blog, on the new feature: You can now follow blogs in the Micro.blog timeline, even if the blogger hasn’t yet registered on Micro.blog. Manton describes this feature as another type of “username”. I understand why he’s framing it that way but I’m unsure if…

  • Indie web question: Any recommendations for a better WordPress plugin for sending webmentions? I’m using the Webmention plugin but it doesn’t seem to send a comprehensive webmention. See this. Or, am I doing something incorrectly?

  • An interview with Manton Reece of Micro.blog

    I have fond memories of the very early days of WordPress (when it had just been forked from b2/cafelog), of Twitter, of Brightkite, of App.net, of Mastodon… just to name a few. The early days of any platform or so important to what they will become. They are the most fun to watch. The early…

  • Micro.blog is now public

    Manton Reece: Micro.blog is now available to anyone. There’s a limit of 100 new sign-ups each day, so that we can better respond to feedback as the community grows. I’ve been using Micro.blog on the web, Mac, and iOS for a few months and the community there has been great. In fact, the vast majority…

  • Jack Baty: “Please just start a blog”

    Jack Baty on his rather handsome looking new blog: Would you all please just start a blog? I don’t care which platform you choose. Pick one and publish. Cross-post or don’t. Implement Webmentions or don’t. Allow comments or don’t. Tweak the design to within an inch of its life or don’t. Publish long posts or…

  • Colin Walker: \”Should replies be posts?\”

    Colin Walker, in a post on whether or not replies to other posts (or, comments) should be their own posts: There has to be a line, a point where a comment is just that and not a reply. It’s a question of semantics but not everyone’s answer to "what is a comment and where does…

  • Replies from Micro.blog and oh hai, comments

    If you visit my site at all you may have noticed many of the recent posts have replies showing up on them from Micro.blog. Here is one example post. That is because webmention works pretty well on Micro.blog. However, this is causing me a bit of frustration because it feels as though the conversation about…

  • Colin Walker on the IndieWeb

    Colin Walker: Yet there is still a problem, and that is the apparent insistence on the implementation of specific technologies as implied by the guides and documentation. Go read his entire post. There are all sorts of "problems" with the IndieWeb and Walker lays some of them out nicely. (Remember, I told you to subscribe…

  • Scranton’s first Homebrew Website Club

    Next Wednesday I’ll be hosting the first Scranton-based Homebrew Website Club at Condron Media‘s headquarters on Penn Avenue. There are other locations HWC will be happening on that day too. If you have your own site and I you care to work on it in anyway at all please do stop by. Homebrew Website Club is not…

  • You’ve been granted h-entry

    This morning I took a few minutes to add microformats to the HTML of my blog. I had done so in the past when my site was using a completely different theme and hadn’t taken the time to add them back in. Shame on me. I should have done it much sooner since it took less…

  • In reply to Manton: If the iPhone SE…

    In reply to Manton: If the iPhone SE ends up with a 6 or 6+ quality camera in it I’ll likely be switching to it late summer. But the 10” iPad still feels perfect to me. Side note: I look forward to when Barley 2.0 supports Web Mentions so that Manton would have been notified…

  • In dependence

    Jeremy Keith has chimed in on the conversation started by Jason Kottke’s "The blog is dead" piece from a few weeks ago with In dependence. Many of us are feeling an increasing unease, even disgust, with the sanitised, shrink-wrapped, handholding platforms that make it oh-so-easy to get your thoughts out there …on their terms …for…

  • The blog isn’t dead. It is just sleeping.

    Jason Kottke, writing for Nieman Journalism Lab: The design metaphor at the heart of the blog format is on the wane as well. Ina piece at The Atlantic, Alexis Madrigal says that the reverse-chronological stream (a.k.a. The Stream, a.k.a. The River of News) is on its way out. Snapchat, with its ephemeral media, is an obvious…
