highstrike300[d]: Hi HighStrikes300, Nice site. I like the visual look of your website !
#
valerieflynn
Let me know if you'd like a screenshot for troubleshooting.

Minor issue: Bit of a weird overlapping text issue on the My Tools page on my mobile phone. Not sure if that's me or a code issue. The menu is off screen to the left cut off on that page too.

Font issue? or resolution issue?
#
highstrike300
If it is font issue, I will simply make everyone's site font Nexa Bold
#
highstrike300
If it is resolution issue... I will try my best 😅

highstrike300: Nexa is a custom font, it's not gonna load for everyone exactly as in your screenshot. you can see Nexa because you have it installed, for everyone else, you'd need to host the font and set up `@font-face` css, otherwise they see Times New Roman or Roboto Serif. the dev channel can dig into more code questions if you have more.

I was hoping this would be more like an old school forum or "reddit-style" way of posting communicating
#

If you are looking specifically for an old school forum, https://discourse.32bit.cafe/ might be of interest to you.

Im looking at adding/backdating events to my personal site for things that I attend like theatre shows, sports events.

Hey, new here.

From reading https://indieweb.org/event I feel the "event" type is more used if you are hosting said events, rather than just keeping a log of the things you attended? Since a lot of them are private / personal, going with family to see a show or whatever?

tdrayson, I think you have that right. Most common usage of events is hosting. Posting an RSVP might be more appropriate for attending.

Pretty nice! It was easy to read through, if that is what you are worried about.
#
ZodiacalComet
And editting a message makes those on other services (eg. IRC) see the message sent again btw
#
ZodiacalComet
oh right. Welcome!

ZodiacalComet: I did not realise that. Thank you so much.

hello, someone there?
#
felipebf
I need some help, I have a new blog but I post in Portuguese and in English.
#
felipebf
Do you think it is worth to build 2 RSS feeds, one to all my posts, and one only for English posts?
#
[snarfed]
sounds like a good idea!
#
[snarfed]
welcome! I don't think we have a way to mark language of HTML-based feeds, but we do for individual posts. https://indieweb.org/language , https://indieweb.org/translations
#
[snarfed]
if you want RSS specifically, maybe look on https://www.rssboard.org/
#
felipebf
i set 2 tags for english posts
#
felipebf
and the rest is in portuguese
#
felipebf
I believe for the general internet public, having an RSS only in English may seem more interesting than having my portuguese posts feed
#
Loqi
[snarfed], felipebf: would you mind moving this more technical conversation (RSS) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
felipebf
hum ok
#
felipebf
ill move, thank
#
[snarfed]
it's ok, this was still pretty user-level, Loqi is a good but occasionally over-sensitive bot
#
felipebf
ah, one more thing
#
felipebf
may I add the webring in my website, or must I be aprooved somehow by the comunitty? I just add the links and the ring and that is all?
#
felipebf
I am starting to promote my blog now it has a bit of content, 87 posts
#
ZodiacalComet
There are webring that are linked in a chain, the way it is coordinated vary from webring to webring. Which one do you want to join?
#
felipebf
I was building content before showing to others
#
felipebf
I want to joing that one that is a picture of a web and a ring. Are there others?
#
ZodiacalComet
Ah, the IndieWeb Webring. There is not an approval process on that one, it just requires having a h-card i believe? I need to check the page
#
felipebf
h-card? an entry on the wiki with the blog data?
#
Loqi
hey ZodiacalComet, felipebf, that's a lot of dev jargon! Microformats... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
