# raidev yep, https://raidev.eu
# raidev i doesn't have many indie web elements, so i was looking to work on that
# osteophage It's your own personal site, and that's already indie web if you ask me.

# raidev im not understanding how h-cards work, do i just give an element a specific class to add the text to the card? cus it doesn't seem to be working.
# 
[KevinMarks] Have a look at http://indiewebify.me to walk you through adsing an h-card
# raidev i did, it only sees the name
# raidev even though i put the other classes around an image and some text
jetpack joined the channel
# [KevinMarks] Are they inside the element with the h-card class?
# raidev they need to be insite the other element?
# raidev it would kinda break the site's layout
# raidev or would i need to make them display: none?
# raidev Loqi: oh sorry, i guess i should move there
# [KevinMarks] You could move h-card up to <body> or another element that contains all the bits
# raidev the image i want to use as a "profile picture" is not anywhere near the text elements

[artlung] interesting development with regards to regulatory oversight of search in the UK. Specifically rights of web publishers (that would be us) over whether and how sites are indexed, and attribution for sites sourced for summaries. Press release as of today. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-proposes-package-of-measures-to-improve-google-search-services-in-uk
# [artlung] Looking at the indieweb page for "search" https://indieweb.org/search ~ some gardening needed there. I'll probably be looking at that. search is a term that could absolutely use better disambiguation up top, as Google and DDG or whatever are relevant, but tooling, specific search, discovery, and other tools need to be mentioned. And llm traffic and summaries and robots.txt as well.

# [tantek]1 [artlung] IMO for our wiki purposes, the focus of any generically named topic page like "search" should be specific to the *feature* on indieweb sites in particular, and all other meanings should be secondary or moved to other pages.
# [tantek]1 like Google and DDG are more specifically search services or search engines (take your pick)
# [tantek]1 "Google Search" that is

Loqi DuckDuckGo is a search engine and also the name of a web browser which focuses on privacy; the search service supports a !indieweb hardcoded shortcut for searching the IndieWeb wiki, and is used for a personal site search feature by at least one IndieWeb site https://indieweb.org/DDG
# Loqi Google Search is how Google started, a web search engine, and supports indexing and highlighting results with microformats, like IndieWeb event posts https://indieweb.org/Google_Search

# [tantek]1 I thought I had better documented what / why to post on the wiki but it seems I have neglected that (I blogged about it a bit but forgot to summarize / add to wiki)
