I'm probably going to keep #metablogging here for awhile, as I work out the kinks with the revised system. I do have other projects & pursuits that I want to start rambling about here. Also kind of hoping that having an easy channel for show & tell will encourage me a bit to actually spend time on them and document a bit.
This Carousel + Lightbox + Glow demo on CodePen is too fancy for my blog, but it's really nifty. Maybe I need to just code my own up from scratch and I'm overthinking this lightGallery thing?
"Molly White argues it’s time to reclaim the web: move your work to spaces you control, support open tools, and help build a web that serves people, not profit." She's been banging this drum for a long while, and she's right.
Considering integrating responses from Bluesky and Mastodon here and posting entries from here to there. Those aren't exactly space I control, but they're relatively open tools, and I can archive things here. Also, I think it'd be meeting folks more where they are.
I thought maybe requiring a Bluesky or Mastodon account to respond here would be a pain in the butt. But, I gave my Disqus widget a fresh try over the weekend and it's not exactly pleasant these days. I guess I can see why a lot of blogs just punt and link out to Hacker News threads for their comments - but I am not at all a fan of the orange site, myself.
I post the occasional toot on Mastodon and I post links to my half-baked Pebbling Club profile. Tempted to do the PESOS thing and copy those into daily entries over here.
Pushed out some RSS feed fixes:
images should be properly linked with absolute URLs
posts with timestamps in the future should be omitted (i.e. like my daily miscellanea that's not "final" until just before midnight)
links to feeds from tag pages should work now, both as visible in-page links and in the head of the page for auto-discovery
