David Shanske (david.shanske.com)Weeks in the making, I’ve released version 5 of Simple Location. Several weeks in the making, it is a major rewrite of the lower level code, and will open up to a variety of different future features. This version retires Zones, the way I used to keep where I was private by default. But it does so...
What’s the difference between a “Bookmark” and a “Read” in relation to Post Kinds saved here?
I try to define a “Bookmark” as a link to a post that contains useful information that I might want to refer to again in the future. A “Read” is a link to piece of writing that I particularly enjoyed and that I want to share or would like to read again.
That’s how I would like to define them anyway but things are never as tidy as that. A third kind is “Like” which muddies things even further. Aren’t the others “Likes” too?
Speaking of Post Kinds, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to export all that data in a way I could use elsewhere? That might make the choice of what to do more difficult.
I like Post Kinds but I’ve always been worried about the data if I stop using it in the future. Posts just disapear when you turn it off and it would take a lot of work to put stuff back in again. I’ve been considering adding the appropriate markup manually going forward.
Updated to WordPress 5.5 and everything appears to be in working order. I’m reading lots of comments on Twitter about serious bugs but I haven’t come across any yet.
The SemPress theme was also updated with a better integration of Syndication Links and Post Kinds plugins. It looks nice.

To celebrate, I thought I’d go crazy and write a brief description of what I think the indeiweb is, and how I IndieWeb. What is the IndieWeb?

Great blog post by Steve, a musician I really like, that chimes with IndieWeb without mentioning the IndieWeb at all.
Chris Aldrich (Chris Aldrich | BoffoSocko)A WordPress plugin that allows you to easily create a huge variety of social media post types to own your social media life online.
I like what this plugin does but if you turn it off the major part of your post content disappears. I’m a bit worried about what would happen if Post Kinds were to stop working at some point in the future.

It needs to believe in itself. by Jason McIntosh (Fogknife) IndieWeb has forged keys to a better, more democratic web for everyone. They need to get organized before they can start really effecting change. I love the enthusiasm and excitement here and still share it t...
A hosting company that provides WordPress (and other blogging systems) with tested IndieWeb technologies out of the box is a good idea. I imagine it would take a lot of support but it should be do-able.
David Shanske from David ShanskeIn this third episode of An IndieWeb Podcast, I invited Chris to discuss my project of the last few months, the IndieAuth endpoints for WordPress, and some related Micropub work I’ve been doing, and some other ideas, and try to teach him about IndieAuth, so far as I understand it. WordPress Plu...
