  9. I blog, post, write, comment, maintain, or output content in so many spaces that I might actually miss some. Here is the list of everything (that I remembered while writing this post). I’m probably going to make updates after I publish this one. The Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek That’s this blog you […]

  11. On my new Thanet Views blog here, you can post comments from the comfort of your own blog or website. In this post, I’m going to explain how this works. First, pick a post you want to reply to. You will need to be on the post’s unique (permalink) page. If you see the date

  12. Some of you may know that I help run OpenMentions.com. And by help I mean it is my baby and so all the work is mine too. For a while now a few shortcomings and missing features have been bothering me. Today, I set out to fix or improve them. Trending topics The trending topics […]

  13. You have an IndieWeb-ish blog. Great. Now what? This post is my guide to connecting with readers in the IndieWeb way. I make no claims to completeness or dependableness but I think this is mostly right. Feel free to correct me with replies, mentions, or comments. Table of contents Why do I think I am […]

    I’m slowly growing a listing of fun blogs on https://dir.lordmatt.co.uk/social-media/blogs-and-blogging/blogs/ (a directory I maintain).

    Feel free to also check out https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/ – that’s me for general stuff and https://iamthedj.lordmatt.co.uk/ for my music posts.

    There’s lots more (I kinda live in the internet) but I am sure you can uncover the rest from these – https://lordmatt.co.uk being my personal essay blog, for example.and https://dev.lordmatt.co.uk/ is stuff I made.

  22. We live in the age of the “big” web. A web where a few tech giants control all our content. Well… Not all of it; just most. The web that the giants do not control is sometimes called the small web. The web that existed before big tech and that will exist after it too. […]

  24. WebMention is a protocol that allows you to comment on things from other things. Like, for example, commenting on a blog post with another blog post on an entirely different website. Better bloggers than I have been talking about WebMention and sharing their thoughts via ActivityPub (another cool thing) on Mastodon. These are my thoughts […]

  25. Readers with long memories will remember my post “All the (active) sites using Webmention that I find (sic) so far” – the May 2022 edition and then the June 2022 edition. This is that list but updated for March 2024 and put in some sort of logical order in a post with a grammatically improved […]

  30. The IndieWeb is slowly moving from innovation to rely adopter so it is time to start thinking about content discovery. After all, what’s the point of a game for two people if you are the only one at the table? One of the ways IndieWeb can become easier to use is to become easier to […]

  32. Thanks to some great feedback, I’ve taken a fresh approach to the design. I ripped out some of the fluff and replaced it with a trending topics section and an #OpenWeb intro to the site.

    For flavour, I added a background image and brought out the logo I made. I kinda want to try to make a better logo.

    Brid.gy responses which are just reactions now look like reactions (with a star/thumbs up combo).

    My CSS and other purely aesthetic bits might want work.

  34. @lordmatt “comments on all topics” is a really weird and vague sentence. I am quite sure you dont want comments on all topics. There are a lot of awful things to talk about. It seems this exists to show the power of the open internet so maybe start with something closer to that?

  36. @lordmatt I just opened up the page and the purpose you said in the post was not clear for me at all. It felt like kinda random posts from… somewhere?

    I’ll try to spend some time and give you some more constructive feedback.

    Have you defined your users? Do you have a mission statement or a value prop?

    Here is a video from my first visit, I didn’t know what I was looking at

  38. The last time I questioned if blogging was dead I accidentally won a laptop. That was a long time ago. I am confident there is no laptop prize draw hidden in today’s topic but as Hugh (Hugh’s Views and News), Brenda (Curiosities, Castles and Coffee Shops) and Erika Kind (Share Your Light) have been discussing […]

  41. Open Mentions is a site where you can place links to blog posts and social media blurps by mentioning the page you want to appear on. It is powered by Web Mention. This means you can reply to people using your own blog, Tumblr, Mastodon, or whatever. (Not Twitter though, as they now charge for API access).Each week, we post the Question of The Week to give us a topic to talk about.Check us out at: https://openmentions.com/
