@hmans Nach Blogs und Indieweb würde mich ja mal interessieren, was die DSGVO für Betreiber von Feedreadern bedeutet. Und wenn wir damit durch sind: für E-Mail. Muss ich künftig (geschäftliche) Emails löschen, wenn ich sie nicht mehr benötige? (twitter.com/_/status/995242883002372096)

jgmac1106 One CSS trick I have been trying to master, not sure if it is possible is an image with a border:radius of 50% two outside borders but have the second border be the CC attribution around the image: https://1stwebdesigner.com/set-text-on-a-circle-with-css/

@bradenslen Blogger @iamjeffperry suggested a community of indie bloggers. https://twitter.com/iamjeffpe… That sounds like a good idea. Cc. @c @manton
I’m trying to think about this from an #Indieweb perspective:
Said community should be Web based: not Slack, ... http://bradfordenslen.com/2018/05/12/blogger-iamjeffperry-suggested.html (twitter.com/_/status/995273154011508736)

@jgmac1106 Hey @mte90 not sure what you are up to this #mozsprint but I am sure it is something WordPress related. Been helping to do some research on #indieweb plug-ins. Know of any users let me know (contributors for translation...better). (twitter.com/_/status/995373375626231809)

[wiobyrne] Hey IndieWeb family. I write/share a weekly newsletter focused on tech/edu/literacy. Now that I'm finally spending more time building up an "indie web site" I'd like to find a better process to connect my newsletter to my feeds. I'd like to be able to have people share/comment on the newsletter, or parts of it and capture these webmentions on my site.
# [wiobyrne] I currently have two sites, both running on WordPress. My newsletter is currently through MailChimp. I don't know if I should copy/paste the newsletter to a post on my site and send it out...or have the individual "stories" in the newsletter be links to my site.
# [wiobyrne] I could write up the newsletter as a blog post, and then send it out through the blog...and the newsletter feed/list.
# [wiobyrne] I tried copy/pasting the newsletter over to Medium to draw more attention, but I'd like to have it live/archive as a blog post on the site as well. I think that would make it easier for people to follow.
# [wiobyrne] I'll try writing/sharing it first in WordPress, and then sending it out to the list from there. If anyone has any plugins, or ways to expedite this process...please send along.
# [wiobyrne] @gwg
# [wiobyrne] I think I might do it that way. I can set up a template in my blog post for the newsletter. And, I would only send out the newsletter post each week through the MailChimp feed.
# [wiobyrne] I already syndicate my WordPress posts to Medium. Writing the newsletter each week in my blog would make my life much easier as it'll syndicate to Medium...and more importantly I'd get all of the IndieWeb special sauce everytime I send it out.
# [wiobyrne] I just need to change my process (and figure it out first) to get my posts for the newsletter to go out through MailChimp.
# [wiobyrne] Also, if I send the newsletter post from WordPress, out through MailChimp...would that mess up my URLs, and impact webmentions? I need to see if MailChimp will give it a new URL, or keep the one for my blog post.
# [wiobyrne] @GWG I can modify the URL a bit in MailChimp when I send it out. It gives me something like this - https://mailchi.mp/ac893a1f20df/tldr-142

[chrisaldrich] I just wired up mail chimp last week to take my rss feed and send it out as a newsletter. I suspect people responding will be non indieweb and write replies directly.
# [chrisaldrich] I may customize the specific feed or set things up so people can choose which categories they receive...
# [wiobyrne] Thanks [chrisaldrich], that was brought up by [mrkrndvs]. I'm thinking I'd still get email responses, but I'm wondering what would happen when someone shares/likes/retweets or comments on the link to the newsletter.
# [wiobyrne] @GWG good thinking. I will first test out sending the posts from WordPress to MailChimp for delivery. I'll then look at ways to keep the URL the same as my blog post...or perhaps move to a different newsletter service to send it out.
# [chrisaldrich] I treat email responses as private though I've been known to add permission to post food ones publicly.
# [chrisaldrich] Has GWG mentioned postactive that might be more of what you're looking for?
# [chrisaldrich] Yes, I'm out of the office on my cell with fast fingers and a mediocre memory. :)
# [wiobyrne] Is it worth investigating postmatic...or should I look elsewhere?
# [chrisaldrich] s/fast/fat case in point
# [wiobyrne] I've seen/heard a lot about Buttondown lately. Might investigate it as well.
# [wiobyrne] I have just under 1000 subscribers, so I should be fine, but need to see if the move is worth it.

# [wiobyrne] I'm interested in learning more about the affordances of the different services. If I'm just sending a WordPress post out to an email list... wondering what will work best.

[mrkrndvs] Even though my newsletter is really a collection of my bookmarks, I kind of like the idea of choosing which ones and actually adding further thoughts that I may have missed the first time around. However, I like your idea [wiobyrne] of posting to WP and linking that to MailChimp. Might investigate. Really don't like publishing in TinyLetter, especially in regards to images.
# tomasparks my goal is to do a modern version of dial-up where I download/upload all my data a 2-a-day
# [mrkrndvs] I would really like to create my own custom Post Kind for 'newsletter' too. Need to add that to my projects
# [wiobyrne] My dream/goal is to write out posts in a Google Doc (or elsewhere), send it off to WordPress as a post. This would give me a backup of my posts as an archive. Adding the newsletter as posts would make it so much better... for me.
# [wiobyrne] Nifty newsletter looks interesting as well.
