Reading a blog post from a designer I really admire and went to take a look at their markup. Holy divitis Batman! Straight up tailwind soup. No <main>. No <article> just <divs> and <p> all the way down. It’s really hard to want to care about this stuff when people who are really good at it don’t seem to care.

Today I hiked a mile into a nature preserve, then waded out thigh deep into Tampa Bay and caught trout all afternoon. Highly recommend unplugging and recharging. And I’ll get to make more art.

I really need to remember to pick which hills I’m going to die on sooner.

Just discovered there’s a default WEBMENTION_LIMIT for the Netlify webmention plugin that’s set to 1. Meaning it will by default only send a webmention for the first link in a post. I think. Still testing.

One more time with feeling.

Another test for brid.gy & Bluesky. Hadn’t authorized posting and not sure how the Netlify webmention plugin handles sending subsequent webmentions. Defintely will want to start sending my own webmentions so I can get the syndication url back from brid.gy. I hate litering social media feed with backlinks.

Testing a theory.

Bluesky is now open to the public. Somehow I don’t see the folks who are on Twitter still migrating. I’ll miss them.

One last test post. If you see this on Bluesky, reply and say hi. I’ll show you a neat trick.

Testing Bridgy Publish to Bluesky. Take 2. Had to enable Bluesky publish on brid.gy.

OK, this should do the trick. Posting to this to my site, syndicating to Mastodon and now Bluesky.

Tonight I’m reminded what a service C-SPAN is. In particular the daily “Word for Word” email that goes out every evening. Here’s what they are saying. That’s it.

I don’t know if this reply will work but @chris@mastodon.socialbut I’m interested in this too. I have an eleventy site I built using charts.js and I stick the table into a details with table-saw but I haven’t dug deep on acessibility.

I think this is a lesson we could probably apply to a lot of web development.

The recipe worked. I had achieved the success I was looking for years ago. But it took trying again to realize the greatness of the work we had already put in.

Today taught me I very much would like to make and sell art as a job. Which I’ve learned is much different than just making art.

Adrian Roselli documents best practices for embedding content with a bonus example of an HTML Web Component for Youtube videos. Neat trick parsing the video identifier from the default link for building the iframe. I liked the Bonus! treat.

Fixed up Webmentions a little more. Added generic mention-oftype which encompasses pingpacks with webmention.io. Decided to use Paul Robert Loyd’s Webmention svg icon for a default img when no author img available.

I shared my PostCSS post on Twitter & Bluesky and tagged the author. Mostly out of habit, but sure, to ping them. No expecations. A like was nice. Much to my surprise checking my RSS feeds last night I saw my name in a post following up on the discussion. Thank you.
