jgmac1106 but then if I am also trying to syndicate the post to twitter it will include a link to the author’s twitter profile
#
jgmac1106 yes, he did and I use his template when url matches name
#
jgmac1106 it is in the case where the the blog has both a title and an author that requires a bit more markup to think about it logically.
#
tantek jgmac1106: why are you trying to do a complex example without first trying a simple example?
#
tantek or if I'm mistaken and you already have a simple /follow post example on your site, can you link to its permalink in https://indieweb.org/follow#Greg_McVerry ?
#
tantek also the markup there looks like brainstorming rather than example of what you're doing
#
jgmac1106 I do this for using @zegnat example: http://jgregorymcverry.com/7117-2/
#
Loqi [Greg McVerry] I just added Literacy, Technology, Policy, Etc….A Blog by @jenroberts1 to my following page at https://jgregorymcverry.com/following #BeYourownSocialNetwork
#
tantek__ goes to update his working on list again
#
jgmac1106 but I though..why am I decideding somebody’s h-card should be defined by their twitter profile,,,so I was thinking how do I add their actual given and family name plus the twitter list
#
tantek jgmac1106: why bother saying anything about any other URLs other than the one you're following?
#
tantek I'm really curious what's driving your design choices here (no social network "follows" use multiple sites/URLs like that AFAIK)
#
tantek again, it feels like trying to do more than is necessary for a simple /follow post
#
jgmac1106 Problem solved. When I add someone to my folloiwng page, I then post a note to whatever network is that person’s primary connectioon with me, be it twitter, microblog, or mastodon, so I am usually syndicating this note said network and need to include the @mention Iso I throw in a link to that profile
#
jgmac1106 I build this which is currently free of mark up and I don’t think needs a u-follow-of for every link as I can’t see why someone would want to consume it
#
jgmac1106 for these posts I was looking at how hard it was to add or edit post-kinds and talked to @zegnat and thought…1-2 lines of html better than a plug-in any day
#
jgmac1106 https://github.com/jgmac1106/homepage/blob/master/following.html
#
tantek "add someone" vs. "person’s primary connection with me" also seems like an odd disconnect
#
tantek if you add someone, you're likely adding a specific URL/site. just use that in your follow post, not "person’s primary connection with me" because that may be a second URL and that'll only make the follow post confusing
#
tantek which did you follow? the first URL, the second URL? both?
#
tantek again, it feels like overthinking it.
#
jgmac1106 in terms of (no social network "follows" use multiple sites/URLs like that AFAIK) i just wanna be my own….yeah I was going to type, their primary social network, but that felt presumptious for me to assume I know
#
jgmac1106 both
#
tantek why? no one does that and the UX would likely be confusing
#
tantek keep your follow post simple and just link the one URL you're following. nothing more
#
jgmac1106 well I added their blog to my rss feed and I follow them on twitter, I followed both
#
tantek anything else and you're making it confusing for the reader of your follow post
#
tantek sounds like two follow posts
#
jgmac1106 okay that makes my life way easier and makes sense
#
jgmac1106 the small tweak between follow with a blog title and author and a blog title that is authoer is easy
#
tantek the author / title distinction is kind of an anachronism in current social media
#
KartikPrabhu really?
#
KartikPrabhu my site's name is not my name
#
[jgmac1106] the bloggers I follow are an anachronism in current social media
#
[jgmac1106] I would say my network trends a bit more to titles then no titles...though I could do the actual math]
#
[jgmac1106] I am an even stranger case as my blog as a title, but the url is my name
#
KartikPrabhu [jgmac1106]: me too
#
[jgmac1106] though now looking at how the lionks manager spit out the description of each website and labeled it title I am peeved, not a title,
#
[jgmac1106] but I can fix that
#
jacky does anyone has a format for keeping logs for their projects/itches?
#
jacky I'm doing this atm https://indieweb.org/Koype#Progress_Log
#
jacky otherwise it's me just making tags and recording there in VCS lol
#
tantek__ jacky I keep track of a semi-prioritized list of feature/fixes I'm working on here: https://indieweb.org/Falcon#Working_On
#
tantek__ and the less prioritized / less structured set of itches here: https://indieweb.org/Falcon#Itches
#
KartikPrabhu mine https://kartikprabhu.com/itch
#
Loqi Kartik Prabhu
#
tantek__ jacky, at a higher level: https://indieweb.org/User:Tantek.com#itches
#
[jgmac1106] a ton of people keep an itches section on their indiweb.org pages, I think it is in wikify directions
#
[jgmac1106] mine are more project specific http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/10/04/pulling-the-ripcord-on-wordpress-indieweb and I have on again off again: http://jgregorymcverry.com/to-do-list/
#
[jgmac1106] ...which used to be way longer then a week......needs to go look through revision history
#
[jgmac1106] but I would add a Pomodoro micropub to-do/goals/itch client to my pie-in-the-sky goal list
#
[jgmac1106] darn...revision missing.....finding my missing to-do list added to the to-do list
#
[jgmac1106] nobody owns...http://scratchmyitch.es/ can be yours for just 19.99
#
[jgmac1106] I don't want to use the phrase but think thats a domain that can be flipped
#
tantek [jgmac1106]: and now that it's in a logged channel, let's see how long before it's squatted :P
#
jacky ahh nice

[tantek] Some metacrap fail on this article https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/08/google-reportedly-exposed-private-data-of-at-least-hundreds-of-thousands-of-plus-users.html
#
tantek__ specifically I've seen some of this leak into link previews: <meta id="speakablemeta2" itemprop="xpath" content="/html/head/meta[@name='description']/@content">
#
tantek__ amazing how confounding Google/schema is making this stuff. microdata+xpath?!? wat
jjuran joined the channel
#
aaronpk whoa what
#
aaronpk that's some nonsense
#
tantek__ it's like they're just trolling SEOs now
#
tantek__ to see how much nonsense they can make them put in their meta tags
#
aaronpk like let's see how much junk we can get people to put in their websites
#
tantek__ metatag--
#
Loqi metatag has -1 karma over the last year
#
tantek__ schema--
#
Loqi schema has -1 karma over the last year
#
jacky it's based on https://pending.schema.org/speakable it looks like
#
tantek__ and no idea who is proposing it or why or what their thinking was
#
tantek__ prime example of how schema org is not really "open"
#
[jgmac1106] or in the case of education you must pay a member fee to be on standards boards for "open standards"
#
jacky > Founded by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex, Schema.org vocabularies are developed by an open community process, using the public-schemaorg@w3.org mailing list and through GitHub.
#
jacky all corporate
#
jacky :(
#
jgmac1106 looking back through my posts and IRC logs I think my general confusion is about how and when you include an h-card for someone else in a post you are writing.
#
tantek jgmac1106: if you don't have a specific consuming code use-case that you understand and can explain how it works, then don't add markup
#
tantek or to reframe it as a positive
#
tantek only include (additional) markup if and when you have a clear understanding of what consuming code you expect will parse that markup and enable what specific use-case after it has parsed it.
#
jgmac1106 in thinking long web is the vision of the h-card to be the @mention of everywhere?
#
tantek that way you have a concrete way to *test* the markup you are adding to see if it will have the intended effect
#
tantek it's one use-case
#
tantek jgmac1106: do you get homepage notifications?
#
jgmac1106 yes, to my about me page
#
jgmac1106 or atleast that is where ai send them
#
jgmac1106 I not ai send them
#
tantek are they public or private?
#
jgmac1106 public
#
jgmac1106 and usually one person 17 times
#
jgmac1106 and one rsvp from you: http://jgregorymcverry.com/about-me-2/
#
Loqi [john] Hi Greg, Not sure how you want the image to display, but I had a quick pass at this: http://johnjohnston.info/blog/flickr-faves/
#
tantek hmm that seems like the markup there could be improved - because clearly your about-me page is not just one comment from one person
#
[jgmac1106] but I do consider it quite the regal honor you choose to attend my blog...I have no idea how Christina Warren is the only person to like my blog when I am sure that never happened
#
tantek where is the markup coming from? an about-me plug-in? or a theme?
#
[jgmac1106] semantic-linkback plugin plus the theme..but this is a rabbit hole, getting away from WordPress for a reason
tantek__ joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] but thanks for thinking on h-card
#
GWG I just came back. What is the markup issue with Semantic Linkbacks?
#
tantek GWG see above Loqi expansion from jgmac1106's about page URL
#
[jgmac1106] thought this could happen, we were discussing use cases of when to add an hcard for someone else in a post
#
GWG Yes, the idea of directing homepage mentions to a page was so they could be saved. I still think there is a better thing to do with them
#
tantek seems like there is a challenging interaction between maybe SL plugin and the theme's markup for the about page but that's probably better discussed in #indieweb-wordpress
#
GWG Yes.
#
tantek what is mentions
#
Loqi A mentions page lists webmentions sent to a website https://indieweb.org/mentions
#
GWG Most likely.
#
[jgmac1106] my generic mentions were going to be example of consuming but...interstices....
#
tantek ^^^ that's what other folks do - they keep a separate mentions page, different from the about page
#
[jgmac1106] okay I had to pick something will make a new page
#
tantek [jgmac1106]: your about page should only really show mentions that explicitly link to it, not just plain domain mentions
#
[jgmac1106] It won't on the redesign: https://github.com/jgmac1106/homepage but will make mention page for now on WP
#
Loqi [jgmac1106] homepage: my domain, mu url, my MEs
#
jgmac1106 back to jacky and the t0-do list I would probably end up using this if I tracked the project right. Go and wathc Dimitri’s demo of his interface from the IWC NYC demos, it was neat
#
jacky word
#
jgmac1106 it was written in Go but it was nicest, by that probably most familiar repo from my domain I saw
#
jgmac1106 but aI havent seen many so take review with grain of salt

@jgmac1106 ↩️ I was trying to use webmentions to say t answer to number 3: give kids place to shape their own truths online before telling them to see how truth shaped online....but my syndication poofed out..conspiracy (no user error I am sure) made you a tag instead: http://jgregorymcverry.com/tag/holden/ (twitter.com/_/status/1049482129673990145)
#
AngeloGladding jacky your project will be written in elixir, correct?
#
jacky AngeloGladding: largely, yes
#
jacky should I mention that on the project page?
#
jacky 🤔
#
AngeloGladding you can, sure
#
AngeloGladding i'm writing a SWAT0 user story using canopy instances for Alice, Bob and Carol
#
AngeloGladding now that i'm writing tests
#
gRegorLove [jgmac1106]'s about page shows up as the first h-cite because xray prefers the h-cite for some reason
#
gRegorLove that's in the -wordpress logs recently, last week I think
#
AngeloGladding and although as a monoculture it won't be technically passing SWAT
#
AngeloGladding i thought it might be interesting to test *with* other reproducible software builds
#
AngeloGladding so if your framework is ever cloneable and buildable let me know and i'll try to include it
#
[jgmac1106] jacky you need to follow the moodlenet team and make use they stay IndieWeb as Moodle is turning to elixir and not php for their new social network
#
AngeloGladding so *when* it's buildable :)
#
tantek AngeloGladding: I'd recommend just trying to get it to pass *one* role (A,B,C), then find others to test with
#
tantek otherwise you're likely to go down the path of having code that interoperates with itself but not others, which is usually much harder to fix
#
tantek (this has happened before with other projects that have attempted to do it all themselves)
#
AngeloGladding i just reread /monoculture

@ChrisAldrich ↩️ Be sure to add in the Semantic Linkbacks plugin as well to display prettier Webmentions on your site (especially if you link it with Bridgy for replies from Twitter et al). You mileage on them may vary depending on how well supported your theme [more...] https://boffosocko.com/2018/10/05/i-overcame-glossophobia-at-wordcamp-riverside-wordcamp-riverside-2018/?replytocom=101173#respond (twitter.com/_/status/1049511487381757952)

#
swentel Zegnat, so got the html parsing working, finally multiple images from a post in a nice simple gallery .. :)
#
swentel will be testing a couple of days myself, but it seems stable already .. :)
#
Zegnat Wonder I there is a good wiki page to document how you pick the images to turn into the gallery...
#
Zegnat I believe aaronpk did some work on that too, would be nice if others didn't have to repeat it
#
Zegnat *Wonder if
#
swentel well, the easy ones if they are just in the photo property
#
swentel and else, it's parsing the html and extracting the html tags
gRegorLove_ joined the channel
#
Zegnat Do you always trigger a gallery view when there are multiple images?
#
Zegnat How does that work with a post about design or a travel log that needs the images interspersed with text?
#
swentel yes currently I create that gallery
#
swentel so the images are extracted
#
swentel so yeah, they feel a bit out of context that's right
#
swentel mmm
#
swentel since I extract them, I could insert a link
#
swentel that triggers the gallery to the right position
#
swentel I'm going to check how the app looks on a tablet, probably inline images will make more sense there than on phone ..
#
swentel I'm already glad though I can view all images though, I had to go to the actual web page to view them all now ..
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
Zegnat swentel, it will definitely be post-dependent. I am just interested to see what you experiences with the feature turned on will be like, and whether it turns out the assumption of what should be rendered gallery style ends up too broad. Or not and everything is just awesome!
#
swentel I hope it says at awesome :)

#
[jgmac1106] anyone have this happen before I can't figure out Bridgy right now: http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/10/09/having-trouble-with-bridgy

sknebel [jgmac1106]: I'd assume it is still this? https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/845
#
Loqi [snarfed] #845 publish: some 401/403 errors from user's site incorrectly disable source
#
jgmac1106 thx sven will take look
#
jeremycherfas !tell aaronpk For #knownchat, IRC is bridging to Slack, but Slack is not bridging back to IRC.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
sknebel or maybe not, since the post you show in your screenshots doesn't have an image...
#
sknebel and it doesn't appear in the logs at all
#
sknebel so no, it's probably not that
#
sknebel you could check if it shows something in your twitter settings for the bridgy app
#
sknebel and try if the preview does anything
swentel joined the channel
#
Zegnat jeremycherfas, could you share the following in #knownchat for me, I can’t write there: “This chat is moderated to combat spam, only users with +v can speak. Sadly, Loqi can no longer grant people +v status, so if you are just joining on IRC or using Slack your messages will not be posted.”
#
Zegnat I’ll shoot benwerd another message on Twitter, that worked last time.
#
Zegnat benwerd is the only listed operator on that channel, so nothing anyone else can do
#
[jgmac1106] thx @zegnat I was wondering what was happening
#
jeremycherfas Done. I thought benwerd had granted someone else ops status.
#
Zegnat I don’t see any ops listed on ChanServ. Loqi was given +o, but not permanent +o through ChanServ, so upon reconnect that status is lost.
#
Zegnat Guessing Loqi reconnected at some point. Might be in the logs somewhere, but doesn’t change the situation so haven’t been looking for the exact moment
#
Zegnat Getting all the finicky little flags right on IRC is hard. Not to mention it is different on most servers.

Loqi [fourtonfish] glitch-fediverse-bot: A fediverse bot hosted on Glitch.
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
Zegnat Ooh. That looks interesting. Paging jgmac1106 for bot code, hehe
#
[jgmac1106] @zegnat been trying to introduce you to [stefan] for some time,
#
[jgmac1106] I will find the glitch project, one sec
#
[jgmac1106] https://glitch.com/~fediverse-bot
#
fourtonfish Actually that’s a separate project, ~fediverse-bot works with Mastodon API. The standalone bot is not yet remixable, because I am actively working on it, but check out the GitHub page above, there is a link that lets you import it to Glitch.
#
fourtonfish I hope that makes sense. ~fediverse-bot works with Mastodon API, so all the content goes straight to whatever Mastodon instance you set your bot up on. With the other project, you host all the content on Glitch (and, optionally, NeoCities, for images), and only federate it. I also plan on making it easy to host it outside of Glitch.
#
@KempfCreative I am very interested in where WebMentions https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ fit into the design pattern of Linked Data https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html, if at all?. @timberners_lee (twitter.com/_/status/1049673705142538240)

#
jgmac1106_ took a long while but finally got signed back into Brid.gy, not sure what I was doing wrong
[manton] joined the channel
#
[manton] Thanks y'all!
#
jgmac1106_ super stoked for the webmention improvements, congrats
#
fourtonfish @jgmac1106 Yeah, there is some pretty cool stuff you can do with this, nice seeing it used for education as well. As for Sidekick, the original idea was to make it modular and easy to remix for your own Slack group, but I feel like there’s a little too much functionality that’s Botmakers-specific…I didn’t really get any feedback in terms of people wanting to use the bot, but if you need any help getting just that functionality, let me know
#
[manton] By the way, something I noticed this week while testing that I don't think I had seen before... I'm getting GET requests on M.b's Webmention endpoint pretty often from a web browser. I only accept POSTs currently but wondering if I should do something for GETs, or if this is just a browser fluke where it is trying to pre-fetch the page or something.
#
aaronpk from browsers? interesting
#
[eddie] How strange.
#
[manton] That's what it seems like from the user-agent.
#
aaronpk a sort of convention people have been adopting is to show a webmention form if a browser fetches the endpoint https://aaronparecki.com/webmention
#
Loqi Aaron Parecki
#
aaronpk https://webmention.io/aaronpk/webmention
#
[manton] That's a good idea.
#
jgmac1106_ [fourtonfish] as someone who is teaching in slack I would love sidekick, my kids post to wrong channels all the time
#
aaronpk of course it just submits a regular form post to the webmention endpoint
#
[manton] Mostly want to make sure that I didn't miss anything in the spec where a GET should be answered. Right now returning a 404 for those, actually.
#
jgmac1106_ we use a gentle human nudge here but he have talked ablotu making some loqi memes for a more “aggressive negotiation"
#
aaronpk yeah that's fine too
#
aaronpk speaking of which jgmac1106_ this sounds like a conversation for #indieweb-meta :)
#
jgmac1106_ just an example, gonna get into bot dev talk
#
jgmac1106_ [fourtonfish] I need some kind of chat interface when teaching in a push/pull distributed manner…but IRC is out, I want columns like Tweetdeck and Mastodon,,problem with Mastodon no webmentions and broken threads. Could a Mastodon bot send a webmention, a reply post, to a specific url included in my OG toot, if someone replied to said toot on Mastodon?
#
jgmac1106_ I thought about just making feeds for note types put the polling makes real time chat impossible
#
jgmac1106_ though I haven’t taken the time to look at Fed Bridgy…in the process of switching back to Known from WordPress so all my activitypub POSSE stuff on hold for a hot sec
#
swentel hmm if we can fix the url thing in bridgy, posting, replying, following and accepting should be fine
#
fourtonfish jgmac1106_: Yes, you could do that, the only problem with the Glitch project you posted earlier is that this one is more suitable for bots that post on a schedule. I wasn’t able to get the webhook to work, so for replies it actually polls for new notifications and responds to those. Not a huge problem for most art bots, but you’d need to wake up your Glitch project pretty often for a more real-time feel. (For those who might not know, Glitch
#
fourtonfish puts inactive apps to sleep after 5 minutes.) Not really sure if this would be an issue for you though.
#
jgmac1106_ yeah it wouldn’t live on Glitch
#
jgmac1106_ [zegnat] played with the mastodon activity API a lot and as [swentel] said folks have a bunch of plumbing figured out, I want a class space that accepts feeds, but also allows for quick chatting and multiple columns…Mastodon closest to this vision

[jgmac1106] anyone know how a friend could handle this: "Now that Google is killing G+ I need to find a spot to organize all my links from my multiple thematic G+ communities... I’ve got thousands so need to start soon. What’s your favourite curation tool / archive tool that might play nice in the transition "
#
[jgmac1106] I recommended try TakeOut first
#
sknebel https://octobox.io/ - dedicated github notifications client.
#
aaronpk oh nice. github notifications are the worst right now. totally useless
#
sknebel [jgmac1106]: yeah, getting them out is obviously the first step, even if the replacement isn't ready. I guess otherwise it depends what they're doing with them. I suspect there isn't anything to just export it to, so the question is what one could easily make a transfer thing to. e.g. do they want comments, or is an effective list more important. could try to move them to pinboard, or a blog, or to a wiki, or make "awesome X"-style

[jgmac1106] @sknebel been thinking about this will write post, "What drew educators to G+?" fiorst and foremost was real commenting UI, you had line breaks, html, markdown, in comments
#
[jgmac1106] 2nd was comment moideration, you didd't have to worry about randos hijacking your thread, each post had per moderation level
#
[jgmac1106] 3rd was simply halo effect from other Google education tools
#
[jgmac1106] IMO

[Rose] !tell aaronpk granary.p3k.io just tells me nginx has been installed by the way (I got a little lost while looking for it)
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
aaronpk where'd you find that link?
#
aaronpk i don't run granary
#
snarfed wow yeah
#
[Rose] I thought it up
#
aaronpk haha
#
aaronpk well then
#
[Rose] For some reason I thought you did run granary, so I tried what seemed like the logical URL
#
aaronpk i guess i could make it redirect to granary.io :)
#
snarfed [Rose]: https://granary.io/
#
[Rose] But I'm not sure if you intended for random subdomains to tell people you're running nginx 😛
#
[Rose] Yeah, I found it on the wiki, thanks snarfed 🙂
#
aaronpk i should probably change that default page yeah
#
[Rose] So, me getting a little confused wasn't a bad thing

swentel [eddie], would it be fine if I hosted the android apk on the indigenous.adobe.pub site ? looking into setting up an f-droid repo (more info at https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/)
#
swentel it looks easy to setup somehow
#
swentel and it basically only has the apk file (which is around 2mb re release or so
#
swentel s/re/per
#
[eddie] Yeah, we can definitely put the android apk on there
#
[eddie] Will it need the F-Droid Repo thing too? Or just the apk?
#
swentel I think only the apk, if I'm reading that right
#
[jgmac1106] do you have any intentions of ever charging?...ohh just the apk, ool
#
swentel charging ? no, not at all
#
[jgmac1106] why? even a few bucks if you don't want it have it go to Open Collective...but I like feeding developers
#
[jgmac1106] then irrelevant you can put whole package on f-droid
#
[eddie] Hmm I think this is the key area here: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/#real-world-setup
#
[eddie] It seems like fdroid on a local machine will need to be able to connect to the server via ssh 😕
#
swentel hmm I think that's only copying
#
swentel but I'll do a local test to see what that does
#
[eddie] “Then fdroid server update will do the publishing via rsync over ssh. So both computers will have to have ssh and rsync installed and setup.”
#
[eddie] If there’s essentially just a folder we can upload then awesome :thumbsup:
#
swentel I'll ping you in the issue when I have it more or less working, it's also not /that/ high on the list atm :)
#
swentel going over to fed bridgy now again hehe
#
[eddie] Sounds good. I’m open to it if we just have to upload a folder. If we have to install stuff and/or get you access it gets a little more complicated because currently I run all my stuff off of one server

#
swentel oh yeah, I don't want to get into that mess either :)

[eddie] :thumbsup:
#
swentel swentel@swenteldoos:/home/android/fdroid$ fdroid update
#

#

#

jgmac1106 [fourtonfish] micro.blog is pretty close to the chat component for groups as well. [manton] pretty commiteed to open standards so bots might be fun and easy to port there as well.

@realdavidpeach From a brand new WordPress install, using the IndieWeb plugin and following its instructions, has got me all set up with zero fuss. I now have webmentions coming in smoothly from Bridgy and automatically syndicating out. Love it! (https://davidpea.ch/2018/10/09/34/) (twitter.com/_/status/1049783178024632326)

jacky I didn't realize how simple implementing micropub would be
#
jacky (at least the barebones bit)
#
jacky everything on top of it (media, syndication) is like just sprinkles lol

#
[jgmac1106] anyone knopw where you change the endpoint in logger settings for bridgy?
#
[jgmac1106] and why didn't I think about wordpress.coma ccounts for my students...know what we are doing after midterms
#
snarfed [jgmac1106]: bridgy's blogger signup should walk you through that step by step, with direct links
#
[jgmac1106] okay the link to the missing endpoint brought me to documents reading you now
#
[jgmac1106] [snarfed] this where I am getting stuck: Warning: your blog's current webmention endpoint is None. If you want Bridgy to handle your blog's webmentions, change it to https://brid.gy/webmention/blogger.
#
snarfed [jgmac1106]: ok. what's your bridgy user page?
#
[jgmac1106] https://brid.gy/blogger/7534747780673283753

Loqi Greg Mcverry
#
snarfed huh ok, thanks. i'll look
#
snarfed so the very first time you signed up and got to your blogger user page, it showed you that?
#
[jgmac1106] no worries< I scrolled down and took a screenshot
#
[jgmac1106] yes
#
[jgmac1106] but it still looks like send and receive below for demo purposes
