#webmention — Public Fediverse posts

My day so far

Got up after a good long sleep and decided to add some pictures to my /me page. Decided that the pictures should be hosted on the same domain but that another subdomain was probably okay.

Got sidetracked checking out my many open tabs with the intention of closing some. More tabs are now open.

Browsed places I have previously shared pictures.

Got sidetracked looking at my past photography.

Post the first picture to my social media node (here). Added it to my /me page.

Added a link to my site about my dad as it was relevant.

Got sidetracked updating the code that runs the site. All up to date.

Posted said first post. That’s odd; the manual ping did not send. Sent a ping.

Got sidetracked when I remembered one of my blogs was flooding someone’s website with mentions.

Got sidetracked reading their blog while trying to remember which site I linked to it on.

Remembered and opened the blog in question.

Got sidetracked checking comments held for moderation.

Got sidetracked replying to comments

Got sidetracked following a link in the comments

Got sidetracked reading about ADHD diagnosis options

Got sidetracked messaging my sister about an idea from following the link

Got sidetracked posting a reply thanking for link

Got sidetracked back to bug hunting.

Got sidetracked when asking AI why the pings keep sending; learned I might want to look at the post meta for pings sent. Realised I needed to know the blog ID as it is part of a network.

Went to the blog’s parent blog to look up its blog ID.

Got sidetracked removing spam from parent blog

Got sidetracked checking which email domains spammers were using and blocking them

Got sidetracked refreshing RSS feeds for the parent site.

Looked up blog ID; opened PHPMyAdmin to look at post meta. Yep, the flooded site is not listed.

Went to GitHub and found someone had opened an issue about this. Posted my findings to the issue.

Got sidetracked browsing the issues on GitHub

Got sidetracked commenting on issues

Got sidetracked when I panicked and thought it was Thursday, and I was running late. I was halfway to getting ready to go out when I realised it was Wednesday.

Got sidetracked writing this post about how often I got distracted today

What do you mean by attention issue?

I guess I will try and find my way back to adding photos to my /me page.

@wyatt WordPress in particular is not strictly not necessary; other server-side blogging software has analogous features.

- create and edit posts using Markdown formatting, possibly with custom extensions
- preview HTML rendering of a post before it goes live
- upload media to include in posts
- let other writers create posts
- send Pingback or Webmention notifications to sites your posts cite and receive them from sites citing your posts
- present paginated lists of posts in HTML and Atom forms
- filter these lists by date or category tag
- perform full-text searches and present their replies
- let readers create comments on a post or another comment, with preview of the comments
- set privileges on who may comment and what may appear in comments
- show, hide, or delete comments and mentions

Which of these features are dispensable?

#wordpress #cms #blogging #webmention #pingback

@whtwnd.com is cool, it can detect if a Whitewind URL was posted in @frontpage.fyi and shows it in the blog post's comment section. Reminds me of #trackback that was replaced by #Webmention.

Cross referencing two documents by establishing a bi-directional link, indirectly mediated via #Hypothesis.

what do you think about: set all linked mastodon (et al) posts as in-reply-to when federating a #WordPress posts!?!

very similar to the old #pingback and not so old #webmention days?

My blog is hosted as a static website on my own domain name. I've been thinking about how the web has been moving towards centralised services like Medium lately, and wondering how decentralised blogs could benefit more from network effects.

I've found #IndieWeb and #webmention / #pingback recently, they look interesting. I like the idea of different blogs replying to each other.

What is there available for this sort of stuff? Also thinking about comments
