Loqi Just generated the first draft of this week's newsletter! https://indieweb.org/this-week/2026-07-03.html I'll generate a draft again tomorrow, so please add to it before then! https://indieweb.org/this-week#How_to

#
[capjamesg] aaronpk ideally someone can share their email and their preferred name to sign up, like you can on Luma and other tools.
#
[capjamesg] We could then show the names of people who have signed up that way in the RSVP list.
#
[capjamesg] (Although this needs more brainstorming!)
#
[capjamesg] At least two recent participants to HWC Edinburgh have been working on the basics of HTML/CSS on their site. Explaining IndieAuth wouldn't have fit naturally in our first conversations.

#
[tantek] capjamesg, I think “explaining IndieAuth” is the wrong framing and approach for new folks. The approach I have found that has worked is to explore whether they link to their other profiles from their home page, then if they do, explain the “basic HTML” of adding rel=me to this links. That’s all it should take. There should be no mention of IndieAuth
#
[capjamesg] That's a good approach! I’ll try it next time!

[capjamesg] aaronpk Is there a way to get an IWC cap on the swag store? I would love one like GWG’s 😂

#
[capjamesg] Wiki contributions are logged here 🙂
#
gRegor You can check the "minor edit" box so they don't show up here, which is fine for updating your user page, though usually don't recommend it for other wiki page edits
#
gRegor nice domain :)
#
thatoddshade yes, the free kind of domain is my favourite
#
thatoddshade although I wonder if I should try to apply for a *.eu.org one
#
gRegor Hadn't seen is-a.dev before
#
thatoddshade I think my contribution to the indie web will be being very knowledgeable about free sub-domains
#
thatoddshade the “records” for *.is-a.dev are basically a Git repo you push to
#
ZodiacalComet Got surprised at seeing it you have it, found it some weeks ago in an "awesome" repo (awesome-domains?)
#
ZodiacalComet And cool! Looking forward for it

ZodiacalComet thatoddshade You might want to see /Tutorial-set-up-your-personal-wiki-template for your own icon-name combo template, and if you want, add yourself to the examples of /is-a.dev !
#
ZodiacalComet what is Tutorial-set-up-your-personal-wiki-template
#
Loqi This tutorial will help you set up a small template that you can use when updating the IndieWeb wiki to easily add your name, photo, and a link to your user page. These templates are commonly used when adding yourself to IndieWeb Example sections or taking notes in etherpads https://indieweb.org/Tutorial-set-up-your-personal-wiki-template

gRegor what is wiki signature?

thatoddshade.is-a.dev edited /free-domain-names (+200) "Add external links to free domain name directories" (view diff)
#
thatoddshade I feel like there should be a “save money” or “free stuff” article on the Wiki that would encompass everything from domains and hosts to IndieWeb-specific services.
#
thatoddshade ZodiacalComet: Missed your message… thank you!
#
ZodiacalComet You're welcome!
#
ZodiacalComet Is there a way to "migrate" a page without having to remove all content and create the new page? Would like to do that with /gitlab-pages , to make the page title be "Gitlab Pages" instead
