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.

A few years back the lack of effort in documentating an open source project bit me pretty hard. Since then I’ve really grown to appreciate technical writing and good documentation. What a lovely resource.

You may wonder: how can I write technical content? Do I need to be a great coder? Do I need to have a background in writing? Let me answer those last two questions now: no. Writing is all about communication, as I discuss throughout Software Technical Writing: A Guidebook. If you have some technical skills and enjoy refining your communication skills, you have the mindset you need to write technical content.

Not the focus of the post, but always a great reminder. The post is right up my alley too. HTML Web Components and sharing what you’re listening to.

While not great, it works for me and well, this website is for me, not you.

One of my favorite all time favorite blogs is back posting. The beauty of collecting RSS feeds for 20 years. Their approach to food has deeply influenced how I cook. Ideas in Food - Sugar Brioche

Glad to see AudioEye dropped their suit against Adrian.

Just going to put this out into the universe that I’m really looking for a job. Something web related I can do from Tampa.

I concur.

Blogs and social networks talking to each other is still kind of magic.

Ohhhh, I like having Letterboxd on the Apple TV. That might get me to go pro. I want to track what I’ve watched but haven’t been good about logging. Being able to do it from the TV might help.

I haven’t written up much yet about my latest passion and I haven’t fixed up photo posting so this post is a test.
