[tantek] Is anyone else thinking about how to post "year in review" info for physical activities (Strava or other sources). I know [Sophia_wood] was also looking into it. Considering starting with a simple structured text summary rather than get bogged down in all kinds of tables and charts and stuff

[Sophia_wood] [tantek] This is both the birds and physical summary for me: https://www.streamof.me
#
[Sophia_wood] I decided to just track distance on foot and not worry about exports at this point.
#
[Sophia_wood] I am noting exports this year to look at how I may adjust for 2026.
#
[tantek] amazing
#
[tantek] [Sophia_wood] literally just uploaded mine

Loqi [indienews] New post: "Turn a list into a web feed" https://jamesg.blog/2026/01/03/turn-a-list-into-a-web-feed

#

#
[tantek] What is a web feed
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "web feed" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "web feed is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] web feed is a web [[page]] that has been turned into a feed by adding [[h-feed]] and [[h-entry]] markup to its HTML to turn visual items (like the items of an HTML list) into feed items consumable by a feed reader.
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] web feed << How to: https://jamesg.blog/2026/01/03/turn-a-list-into-a-web-feed
#
Loqi ok, I added "How to: https://jamesg.blog/2026/01/03/turn-a-list-into-a-web-feed" to a brand new "See Also" section of /web_feed https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=107372&oldid=107371

#
[Zephyr] thanks [tantek]!! got a solid core group coming to the philly hwc nowadays :)
#
[Zephyr] related note -- what's the standard practice for http://indieweb.org wiki pages created by mistake? i imagine there's always at least a few created around this time 😅 (eg i made https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=events/2025-01-05-hwc-philly but it was a 2026 event, not 2025 haha)
#
[schmarty] you can make the new page and redirect, no prob
#
[tantek] Yes I suggest make the new page from scratch so it shows up in the newsletter
#
[tantek] Then turn the old one into a redirect
#
[Zephyr] will do, thanks! so replacing the text on the old, mistake page with ``#REDIRECT:[[destination-page-name]]` should do it?
#
[Zephyr] (not entirely sure if that's how it works, just saw that on the /redirect page at https://indieweb.org/redirect#MediaWiki)
#
[tantek] Yes that should work plus you can test it!
#
[Zephyr] ok! all figured out! thanks marty + tantek!

[tantek] capjamesg your blog post about web feeds has me thinking about what other lists of things of mine I want to publish like that

#
capjamesg https://playground.jamesg.blog is on my mind to turn into a feed so people can subscribe to my latest web experiments.

[tantek] display-guidelines << IndieWeb Example: {{capjamesg}} https://jamesg.blog/cite
#
Loqi ok, I added "IndieWeb Example: {{capjamesg}} https://jamesg.blog/cite" to the "See Also" section of /display-guidelines https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=107381&oldid=82721
#
capjamesg What is display guidelines?
#
Loqi display guidelines are (sometimes also called syndication policy) instructions on a website for how other websites may or should (not) show information (like quotes, icons, other content) from that website https://indieweb.org/display-guidelines
#
capjamesg Oooh I haven't seen this page!
#
[tantek] yes it's a bit undiscoverable
#
[tantek] what are citation guidelines
#
Loqi display guidelines are (sometimes also called syndication policy) instructions on a website for how other websites may or should (not) show information (like quotes, icons, other content) from that website, either in their entirety like a whole post, or excerpts, summaries, or citations thereof https://indieweb.org/citation_guidelines
