#
[tantek] Should blogtober be lowercase or capitalized? How do people use the hashtag in the wild?
#
gRegor "Blogtoberfest" capitalized in that original post at least. Haven't looked for modern usage. I feel like capitalized is fine, usually the case (no pun intended XD)

[artlung] what is dumpster diving?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "dumpster diving" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "dumpster diving is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[tantek] what is Blogtober
#
Loqi October is the 10th month of the Gregorian calendar year and a month of several blogging challenges such as Blogtober, Inktober, Mathober, Weird Web October, also a month where some sites display a seasonal Halloween theme, or may be in reference to October CMS https://indieweb.org/blogtober

#
[tantek] oh no did I just screw up the cache for dfns
#
[tantek] dammit
#
[tantek] aaronpk, gotta fix the newsletter generation so it doesn't used cached dfns for new pages
#
aaronpk I need to add a cache bust cookie to Loqi
#
[tantek] what is Blogtober??
#
Loqi Generated the final version of the newsletter! This will be sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2025-10-24.html
#
[tantek] phew, I asked early enough for the dfn that it expired (probably just barely) before newsletter generation

tantek.com edited /Blogtober (-472) "Undo revision [[Special:Diff/105390|105390]] because for now the two seem distinct except maybe an errant conflation or two, and that post about Blogtoberfest does NOT mention Blogtober" (view diff)
#
[tantek] I'm not convinced Blogtober and Blogtoberfest were/are the same thing
#
[tantek] (copying myself from #indieweb-random)
#
[tantek] all the Blogtober articles I found DID NOT mention Blogtoberfest at all
#
[tantek] the one Blogtoberfest article ONLY mentions Blogtoberfest, not "Blogtober"
#
[tantek] for now, I'd say they are related but different and create different stubs accordingly with different timelines
#
[tantek] my guess is that only one post or two linking or connecting them is just people being confused / errantly conflating
#
[tantek] All the "How to" posts only mention one or the other. never both
#
[tantek] looks like the #blogtoberfest Masto posts also DO NOT use the #blogtober hashtag, another sign they are still (somewhat at least) distinct: https://mastodon.social/tags/blogtoberfest
