gRegor I like that "don't build castles in other people's kingdom" analogy
#
[tantek] It's a good metaphor

roffi What do you think about neocities.org https://neocities.org/ ... is it good to host your html-websites there? (I have no idea where else I can host html files as websites)
#
roffi *static websites
#
doesnm glitch.me maybe?
#
[tantek] what is static hosting?
#
Loqi static web hosting is a web hosting service (AKA static hosting or file hosting) that only supports serving static files for a web site, is often more reliable, cheaper (some are free), a good way for web developers to get started on the IndieWeb, and used by many community members https://indieweb.org/static_hosting
#
roffi thanks, I will check these out ... currently I can only check out the free ones, because I can not pay on the internet
#
roffi * I will need to check out these static hosting providers/ read more on them and if they offer free hosting of small websites (smaller than 5 MegaByte)

osteophage Hey roffi. I've been using Neocities since September, and it's worked well enough for me so far. Only issue I've run into is that it doesn't let me implement a webmentions submission form directly on my site, so I have to link it instead.
#
doesnm osteophage: you can't use webmention.io?
#
osteophage That's correct. We had a conversation figuring this out a few days ago in #indieweb-dev
#
osteophage I thought I must've been coding it wrong, but it turned out to be an issue with the Neocities Content Security Policy: https://neocities.org/contact#ccsp
#
osteophage [edit] I thought I must've been coding it wrong, but it turned out to be an issue with the Neocities Content Security Policy: https://neocities.org/contact#ccsp
#
osteophage Shoutout to gRegor for figuring that out.

#
roffi thanks @osteophage & @Loqi & @doesnm ! https://indieweb.org/static_hosting is a good pointer on the topic. I will also check out webmention.io
#
Loqi you're welcome, roffi

GWG If you have content on multiple sites, how do you present it on your main site?
#
GWG Visually.
#
GWG For example, I write articles on a second site to the site that represents me
#
doesnm webmention?
#
GWG That's a protocol...
#
GWG I'm trying to figure out where I put them
#
GWG Mixed in... separately....
#
GWG It's not a syndication issue per se as I own both
#
[tantek] GWG great question!
#
[tantek] I think there's a couple of different approaches you could take
#
GWG I was thinking about a few...
#
[tantek] since your home page stream is already a composite stream, you could "just" include any number of sources there
#
[tantek] or alternatively, you could repost the stuff from your second site, on your primary site that represents you
#
GWG [tantek]: I thought of that or a second section below the first.
#
[tantek] but that's more manual
#
[tantek] oh yes, good point, a separate section could also work
#
GWG Repost is the one I could do automatically but I am reluctant because it feels duplicative
#
GWG I'd rather interoperate a bit
#
GWG Even if I have a local copy I would want them to go through to the other site
#
GWG It's sort of the reverse of what I usually want
#
[tantek] you could look at it also like PESOSing from your secondary site to your primary site
#
GWG I'm also wondering if in reverse on the secondary site I should have an author page that shows more of my stuff from other sites
#
[tantek] makes sense. follow your nose discovery in both directions

GWG WordPress doesn't really have author pages... just author archives but I can fix that

Ed Hey all, nice to meet you!

GWG Welcome

#
scattershot oh and happy friday everyone!
#
scattershot oh do i have to scroll down...i was living 4 hours in the past oop
#
[tantek] better to scroll down than doom scroll!
#
scattershot I'd say so!
#
Ed Thanks GWG!
#
Ed I'm playing a bit with Ghost and I'm trying to implement h-cards, webmentions and so on, but it seems a bit... weird to do so without modifying core components
#
Ed Am I doing it wrong and there's an easy way?
#
GWG Not a Ghost person... but we have a -dev room for tech questions like that... I'm sure someone has some advice. We try to keep the main room like a lobby...for getting to know new people and talking more abstract stuff.
#
Ed Thanks!
#
Ed Really appreaciated!
#
GWG Any time.
#
GWG We're all in multiple rooms usually. That one is #indieweb-dev
#
[mattl] Ed: ping me in #indieweb-dev and I'll share my Ghost/11ty work
