#
aks Bit of an odd question but, is there some design thing to set sidebar on the right side of main content
#
aks Seems a lot of people do that
cotsuka, jbd_, petermolnar and [jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] People do it in different ways. I used to use flex in CSS, but then I abandoned it. Depends a little on how you want it to look on smaller (phone) screens
#
aspizu aks: people usually put the table-of-contents on the right-side when the left-side is already occupied by another "global" sidebar
#
aspizu a TOC on the right-side might look less obtrusive even if you do not have a primary sidebar
#
aks Hmm
#
aks I am thinking of putting navbar on top and all kinds of other links on sidebar on right side

#
[tantek] Makes sense from a design perspective
#
[tantek] For how to code that, #indieweb-dev is better

aboxsots Is there anything like a main feed with blogs/sites with RSS only for the IndieWeb? I like the idea of stumbling through the webring, and it could be cool if there were a format with a public feed of posts from folk on the IW (if they choose to opt-in, hypothetically).
#
aboxsots thinking of an IW analogue to what WP does with WP Reader, if that makes sense
#
capjamesg You might like https://stream.indieweb.org and https://blogroll.org
#
capjamesg [edit] You might like https://stream.indieweb.org and https://blogroll.org
#
aboxsots These look great, thanks! I'm not sure I understand the first link. Is it a general feed of anything tagged with indieweb in the fediverse? I see mostly mastodon links.
#
[tantek] What is streamindieweb
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "streamindieweb" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "streamindieweb is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] streamindieweb is / href="http://stream.indieweb.org" target="_blank">http://stream.indieweb.org
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] What is streamindieweb
#
Loqi https://indieweb.org/streamindieweb
#
[tantek] Slack-- for autolinking after I specifically removed the autolink while typing my chat message
#
Loqi Slack has -1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] What is stream.indieweb
#
Loqi stream.indieweb.org is a web view of a stream of public posts with relevant hashtags across various services, that are also shown in the #stream chat channel https://indieweb.org/stream.indieweb
#
[tantek] There we go at least that works
#
[tantek] ^ aboxsots there's your answer
#
aboxsots cool. So like, on a WP blog post, if I included any of the terms from the "Keywords from blog search" camp as a tag, the published post would appear in the IW stream?

#
[tantek] I don't think Wordpress (.com) has a category/tag feed for all WP blogs
#
aks ughh it took longer than i wanted but my site has now been updated looks wise and it has notes system https://akselmo.dev/
#
aks i still need to fix the badges and such in footer 😅 theyre borked

#
[tantek] aboxsots, if you syndicated/federated your WP blog post to Mastodon or another such host it might show up. Do you have the Activity Pub plugin installed? Worth trying!
#
[tantek] aks++ congrats and looks good!
#
Loqi aks has 6 karma over the last year
#
aks thanks :)
#
aboxsots all posts have this field in Wordpress.com, which I know show up in WP Reader. I do have ActivityPub installed but don't have a Mastodon. Do you think adding one of those keywords to the tag box ^ would allow it to appear in the feed?
#
Loqi hey [tantek], aboxsots, can you move the tech talk (federated, ActivityPub) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?

#
[tantek] Sorry my bad. I blame the AP WP plugin for not having a more user-centric name 🥲
#
[tantek] aboxsots does anyone follow your WP blog from Mastodon?
#
[tantek] Try searching http://mastodon.social tags for categories you've tagged your posts with to see if any of your posts show up

#
aboxsots No, there don't seem to be any posts.
#
[tantek] Might ask in the #indieweb-wordpress channel to get help with configuring your AP plugin so that your WP blog posts show up properly for Mastidon followers and tags

aboxsots I'll try that, thanks!
