gRegor There's a webring: https://1.44mb.club/

aaronpk ha
#
gRegor ulhar4409, yep, `pre` elements with `p-content` on them should be fine
#
gRegor oh hey, that one is by our own benji. I remembered him mentioning it but forgot that detail!
#
ulhar4409 pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: var(--prose-font)" feels slightly cursed but it works

#
ulhar4409 also i changed my internal "navigation links prototype" thing to use (nav (a)) instead of (ul (li (a)))

#
ulhar4409 tweaking my site colors tonight, gray theme feels a little basic for me
#
ulhar4409 got the light theme done and now i'm working on the dark theme, i've been thinking a good brown background would be nice

#
ulhar4409 random thought, is there a way in CSS to distribute colors over elements? happened to think that, for a masonry layout, each element in a collection could get a different hue along the spectrum
#
ulhar4409 i seem to remember :nth-child() being a thing, maybe there's a way to retrieve n then
#
ulhar4409 there are sibling-count() and sibling-index() but firefox doesn't support it :/
#
ulhar4409 hmm, but i could bake those into data- values instead, perhaps

lars_the_bear The <h-card> will usually contain your email address. When you "sign in" to the IndieWeb ring manager at https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/, it will send a code to the email address in your <h-card>
#
lars_the_bear @dave -- this (IIUC) is how the IndieWeb ring manager knows your site has adopted IndieWeb principles, and isn't just some random site

#
lars_the_bear Sorry : I use "minus minus" as a separator. I didn't realize it has a special meaning here.
#
lars_the_bear @dave: If you're using Blogger, I'm not sure whether Blogger gives you enough control over the page layout, to enter the <h-card> tag. Sorry; I guess that's a question for the Blogger folks.
#
[jeremycherfas] It can e done, or at least, could be, once upon a time. See https://indieweb.org/Blogger

#
lars_the_bear The link to "Tutorial: Add an h-card" seems to be broken :/ Sorry : I haven't used Blogger for years, and I've no idea whether it would still work.
#
lars_the_bear I guess Blogger mostly appeals to people who don't want to get down and dirty with HTML.
#
lars_the_bear It seems that the person who posted the original question is no longer here, anyway.
#
[jeremycherfas] They might be back. Ah yes, jgmac gone missing, whereabouts unknown.
#
[jeremycherfas] Iā€™m looking in http://archive.org just in case, but I am not hopeful.
#
[jeremycherfas] Pleasantly surprised, and wiki edited.
#
lars_the_bear 2019, I think, so it might still work. I didn't realize you could hack in HTML directly in blogger.

[tantek] Restoring lost karma!
#
[tantek] What is h-card?
#
Loqi h-card is the microformats2 vocabulary for marking up people, organizations, and venues on web sites, and supersedes hCard https://indieweb.org/h-card
#
[tantek] ^ try the How to there!
#
dave thx

#
[jeremycherfas] The tutorial I linked to earlier is probably a better bet for Blogger specifically.

btrem Does anyone know the format of MLS numbers? (The ones used in real estate in the U.S., and maybe elsewhere? My web searches have returned contradictory results. Some say a 9 digit integer, others a combination of letters and numbers.

#
gRegor heh, well that's a niche question :)

#
gRegor No idea, but governed by private entities apparently and over 500 of them, so sounds like it could easily vary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_listing_service#North_America
#
gRegor dave, [jeremycherfas], I updated https://indieweb.org/Tutorial_Set_up_an_Indie_Website_using_Blogger with a note about the webmention tutorial not working. That's not needed for the webring signup though. Let us know if the h-card tutorial works, though. Fingers crossed!

#
gRegor I wonder if webmention.io with one of the webmention.js would be an option for a Blogger site nowadays
#
btrem gRegor: haha, yes niche question. I'm working on my community site today, trying to move processed from paper to our website. One such thing is paperwork generated when somone sells her/his/their apartment. So I'm creating an "apts for sale" content type, and thought it would helpful to let them add an MLS number so prospective buyers could see the listing.
#
btrem And I realize now that I should have looked it up on Wikipedia. The general web searches having let me down.
#
btrem Well, I'm going with an integer field for now. Here's hoping I don't get burnt!
cotsuka joined the channel
#
gRegor I was just gonna say, I'd use `varchar(255)` to be safe
#
btrem Not how Drupal works. ;-) One of the many reasons I hate Drupal: everything has to be done the "Drupal way."
#
btrem I could make it a text field.
#
btrem I feel like I've only ever seen numerals in MLS numbers. And using a number field does offer simple input data validation.
Maker and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] gRegor is right though, if you're not absolutely sure it's always numeric, text is safer
#
[snarfed] and still easily validated
#
gRegor text field == varchar
#
btrem gRegor: haha, yes, I know.
#
btrem [snarfed]: Not as easy to validate as you might think. Again, it's gotta be the "Drupal way." But I think you're right. I'll change it to text field. I probably don't need a lot of validation. Users will probably copy/paste that number.

#
gRegor heh
#
gRegor you'll probably appreciate it for the one time an edge case comes up and someone needs to enter a letter :)
cotsuka and oxtyped joined the channel
#
btrem Yep. Because I'm pretty sure one can't change a field type once data has been entered. (Which is pretty sane, actually.)
