  • Does my blog need to support ActivityPub?

    I have my reservations about whether or not blogs (specifically my blog) should federate content via ActivityPub. Isn’t RSS enough?

  • Please publish more (on your website)

    Jeff Triplett urges us to publish more from our own domains. I agree. But it isn’t easy.

  • Disbanding the POSSE

    For the past several years I’ve been POSSE-ing. In Indieweb terms that means to publish content on my own site and syndicate it to other platforms. I’ve decided I’m going to discontinue using automation in favor of manually writing posts for each of the platforms I want to post to. I’m doing this for 3…

  • Laura Kalbag on blogging

    Laura Kalbag: When I wrote about owning and controlling my own content, I talked about trying to keep my “content” in its canonical location on my site, and then syndicating it to social networks and other sites. Doing this involves cross-posting, something that can be done manually (literally copying and pasting titles, descriptions, links etc)…

  • Fred Wilson on owning your content

    Fred Wilson: I would never outsource my content to some third party. I blog on my own domain using open source software (WordPress) that I run on a shared server that I can move if I want to. It is a bit of work to set this up but the benefits you get are enormous.…

  • Snapchat is a party, LinkedIn is a business lunch

    Colin Walker, like me, struggles with what should be syndicated to networks and what should be brought back into the blog context.

  • 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…

  • Josh Ginter on Instagram pressure

    Josh Ginter re: my Instagram pressure post: I tried to fix this by unfollowing just about everyone I know personally and following as many talented photographers as I could find. The result of that decision: enormous inspiration to get out of the house and travel, but also to a confidence-shattering reflection on my own photos.…

  • The slow web and POSSE

    David Mead: This year all of my posts, replies, and retweets on Twitter will be coming from this blog and not using the Twitter app (#OwnYourData). That probably means doing it at the end of the day. I’m hoping that will make them more considered (something we may all want to be in the coming…

  • Owning my words and photos and audio bits

    Jeremy Keith wrote on his blog about owning his words, or, being willing to publish his words (snarky or otherwise) on his own site under his own name. I recommend you read his entire post. But this bit stood out: I wish I could articulate how much better it feels to only use Twitter (or…
