Loqi I have a question for the IndieWeb community: What can we do against Webmention spam, except filter it out, when it fails validation? I receive hundreds of invalid Webmentions a day, and even using a filtering DNS server doesn’t seem to help much. But I also don’t want to... (https://jlelse.blog/micro/2024/07/2024-07-10-hcriz)

Loqi [mastodon.social/tags/indieauth] Seit dem letzten Update des IndieAuth-Plugins funktioniert das jetzt tadellos. Ein weiterer Punkt den ich jetzt abhaken kann. https://marc.hannebrook.info/blog/2024/07/10/704/ #IndieAuth (https://marc.hannebrook.info/blog/2024/07/10/704/)

[manton] I feel a little bad about that post because I have so much respect for Ben, but hopefully it’s not taken _too_ seriously. 🙂 Also, we do need a lot of people working on these kind of platforms.

[Paul_Robert_Ll] [manton] You also need to ~get better at~ continue improving how you market http://Micro.blog; no idea how, but some people are especially good at (over) hyping their wares. That said, those are also usually the sort of people I try to avoid… 😅
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] I can’t remember where I first read it, but there was a Mac (?) software developer who once wrote about making it super easy for (lazy) journalists to write about your product. So, by writing short/medium/long descriptions of your product, provide downloadable images, logos etc. and linking to those from your website.
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] Then there’s things like inserting yourself into the conversation; have journalists want to come to you for a quote, etc.
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] And perhaps follow up/prod Ben, with someone has built it!
#
[manton] Yeah, a lot of developers are really good at having a “press kit” for folks to download. Makes it a lot easier. We need that, can’t hurt.

#
[tantek] what is marketing
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "marketing" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "marketing is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] that's good guidance [Paul_Robert_Ll], let's see if I can start a stub about it
#
[tantek] marketing is, from a positive perspective, the work you can do to make it super easy for others (bloggers, journalists, etc) to write about your site, specific [[posts]], [[projects]], events, [[services]], and even products, by doing things like creating easy to re-use icons for yourself and your site, [[featured]] images for posts, copy pasteable links, logos, and short/medium/long descriptions of your things, and easy to find guides to
#
[tantek] all those on your website.

Loqi ok

[tantek] to all those on your website.
#
[tantek] ^ [Paul_Robert_Ll] WDYT? Does that capture what you were expressing?
#
[tantek] marketing << press kit
#
Loqi ok, I added "press kit" to a brand new "See Also" section of /marketing https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=96155&oldid=96153
#
Loqi I updated the about me page on my website. The biggest change of those otherwise small updates is that I recorded and uploaded two audio files: the pronunciations of my name (Elena) and nick name (theresmiling). I may add a section about where my nickname comes from in the... (https://ibe.social/notes/9vjlkgtyxa)

Loqi [aaronparecki.com] If you have a personal website, which I assume you do if you're following me here, you should add yourself to the Internet Phonebook while the call for websites is still open! They even have an "indie web" category! https://internetphonebook.net (https://aaronparecki.com/2024/07/10/17/)
