felipebf one question, may be silly but... I have an About section, do I create the h-card marks only at my index.html, or can I set it in my about? This h-card need to be in my home?
#
ZodiacalComet It can be in any page, it's just that at least having in it on the homepage makes it easier to point to

#
ZodiacalComet Most services that use your site to sign-in will only get your profile from the URL you give. Saves you some typing if it is on the homepage
#
felipebf ok, I have my name in my home, I think I will link the name to a static page with my h-card information. I hope it works. My site is not indexed in search engines I guess. I am just starting this and all I know is some HTML and how to link stuff. kkkk. Everything seems intimidating now. but I guess ill learn somehow.
#
gRegor Yeah, having it on the homepage can be good as a representative h-card, so if someone parses the homepage, it would return your info. It's not strictly required, though.
#
ZodiacalComet Sorry if I'm being a little overwhelming throwing all of this. Feel free to take it slowly, there is no problem with taking one step at a time
#
gRegor I have multiple, one smaller one on my homepage and one on the About page. I think there's a brainstorming section on the wiki on how we might indicate "the more complete one is over there on the about page" but no real progress on how that might work (or software that consumes it)
#
felipebf if I add the mark it will be visible? Can I add and hyde it, just to sites check and read the markup? I dont want to add extra info, I already have an about.html
#
ZodiacalComet You can! If it is in the HTML it will be parsed regarless on UI visibility
#
gRegor microformats like h-card can be invisible, yes. We usually don't recommend it because if it breaks, harder to notice, but it absolutely still works
#
felipebf so I have an hcard like this for example. I just drop inside my code and thats it? i will trye here and see what happens.
#
felipebf <a class="h-card" href="http://waterpigs.co.uk">
#
felipebf <img src="/photo.png" alt="" />

#
gRegor You're trying to do web sign in for the IndieWeb Webring, right?
#
felipebf yes
#
felipebf ill add the webring option in the bottom of my index
#
felipebf the arrows and so
#
gRegor If yes, I think a minimal h-card on your homepage would need your name and at least one `rel-me` link to a service that can be used for web sign in.
#
gRegor what is web sign in?
#
gRegor ah preposition at the end, d'oh
#
gRegor https://indieweb.org/How_to_set_up_web_sign-in_on_your_own_domain#How_to_setup_RelMeAuth
#
gRegor Which for signing in to the webring, could be one of: Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, or email address.
#
gRegor oh, and Bluesky
#
felipebf thi @ is my github username?
#
gRegor Example: `<a href="https://github.com/username" rel="me">github.com/username</a>`
#
gRegor If you prefer an invisible link in the page head: `<link rel="me" href="https://github.com/username">`
#
gRegor Your github profile will also need to link back to your website. that bi-directional linking confirms your control of that github account.
#
gRegor Once you have both of thoe, https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me/ can validate
#
felipebf I will add the infor for h-card at the bottom, add this rel=me info as well. Iĺl do it now, I hope I can do this
#
gRegor I'd start with the rel-me stuff for web sign in
#
felipebf <ul>
#
felipebf <li><a href="https://github.com/felipebrasilblog" rel="me">@felipelipebrasilblog on Github</a></li>
#
felipebf </ul>
#
felipebf <li><a href="mailto:felipefelicio@gmail.com" rel="me">felipefelicio@gmail.com</a></li>
#
felipebf Iǘe added this to my footer
#
gRegor That looks good!
#
felipebf https://felipebrasilblog.github.io/
#
felipebf do you know how to remove those list dots?
#
felipebf kkkkk
#
felipebf its ugly now
#
felipebf kkkkk
#
felipebf i mean, kkkk is laughts in portuguese
#
gRegor :)
#
gRegor If you want to use Github for web sign in, now on https://github.com/felipebrasilblog you would need to update your profile so it links to your website: https://felipebrasilblog.github.io/
#
gRegor That's why indiewebify.me validator right now says "https://github.com/felipebrasilblog does not link back"
#
ZodiacalComet Answering your question, what matters is the link with rel=me. It is not required to have them in a list. If you want to keep it like that, applying CSS 'list-style: none' to the <ul> container removes the dots
#
felipebf i think i got
#
felipebf i went to the profile and edit
#
felipebf and there is name, bio, pronouns, etc
#
felipebf I just need to edit on github and it will get this info from github?
#
gRegor Just need the URL on github, other fields are optional and won't be used by web sign in
#
felipebf i mean, felipebrasilblog.github.io/index.html ?
#
felipebf where do i find this url from github?
#
gRegor Oh github, click your avatar top right, then Settings, then scroll down to URL
#
gRegor Enter https://github.com/felipebrasilblog no need for the index.html
#
gRegor Other fields are optional and don't have an impact on web sign in
#
gRegor Ack, I pasted the wrong URL
#
gRegor * Enter https://felipebrasilblog.github.io/
#
felipebf there is nothing in my URL (o.0)
#
gRegor Right, enter the URL of your site
#
gRegor What this is doing is updating your public github profile. For example, on mine https://github.com/gRegorLove/ under the photo is a link to my website.
#
felipebf i put this in my URL: www.felipebrasilblog.github.io
#
felipebf I don use a private domain name
#
gRegor no www
#
gRegor That's fine
#
gRegor The important part is the public website links to your github profile page and vice versa
#
felipebf https://felipebrasilblog.github.io/
#
felipebf check now, its linking to github
#
felipebf i believe
#
gRegor huzzah, it's working! indiewebifyme shows "https://github.com/felipebrasilblog works perfectly"
#
felipebf SUCESS!!!!!!
#
gRegor Now you can test signing in on indielogin.com
#
gRegor enter https://felipebrasilblog.github.io/ and it should prompt you to confirm the request via your Github.
#
felipebf now, the h-card, I add again at the bottom?
#
gRegor For the h-card, since you don't have a photo/avatar currently, you can do a simple one-line link on your homepage: `<a href="/" class="h-card">Felipe Brasil Felicio</a>`
#
ZodiacalComet ^ You can also put it on the <h1> that already has your name
#
gRegor That will result in IndieWeb Webring getting your URL, and the text inside the link will be used as your name
#
felipebf Cool
#
felipebf I just put the link in my name at the bottom
#
gRegor I need to step away for a bit. Good luck!
#
felipebf thanks a lot
#
felipebf bye

gRegor bringing some Micropub chat from #microformats here. From the Micropub session, looks like there was agreement to add some stable extensions to the spec. I might try to write a PR for some of those. Popup and video: https://indieweb.org/2026/Micropub
