jeremycherfasI just tried to set down what happened, and I would be very happy to receive clarifications of the bits that confused me, the better to write it up for others who may be confused.
[miklb]Those settings in the Bridgy plugin are better documented on brid.gy than in the plugin. Link back means include a link to the note in the Syndication (tweet in your case). maybe only links back if the note is > 140 characters.
[miklb]I intend to see about getting that to work soon. I know when I had a static site, I had to have an portion of the post marked up with a special class for brid.gy to use for an excerpt.
[jeremycherfas]So if I write something longer than a tweet, maybe inserts a link to what I write, but if it is shorter and includes an external link, then that link stays in.
[miklb]`p-bridgy-twitter-content` is what I was referring to as to controlling what gets sent as the excerpt. I do not know if that can be passed in the API or not.
[miklb]I had a little function in Jekyll that would check if an excerpt was set, and it was, add that to the entry page. I plan on doing something similar with WP and my theme.
sknebelI guess the problem with POSSE-to-twitter plugins for wordpress is that there are tons of them? - brid.gy publish is nice if you use a different platform, on WP I'd assume it's more complicated than it needs to be, due to the way it works
[jeremycherfas]I'm lucky to have backlinks working fine. It may be that once I get my head around which bits do what it will be less confusing. I do want to look at indieweb press this too.
[jeremycherfas] !tell chrisaldrich Thanks for the links. I will pursue. Not on Android, and in any case less interested in posting from mobile.
[jemostrom] chrisaldrich Thanks, I’ll check it out
