[mrkrndvs] GWG I think that the 'unstructured conversational' style of the podcast would be supported with a run-down sheet with a few links/references. There was some great stuff, but it was hard to remember what or where it was in the podcast to come back to.
#
GWG chrisaldrich already has something
#
tantek !tell GWG forgot to cc you on this but perhaps you have some additional suggestions: https://github.com/microformats/h-entry/issues/7
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Loqi [tantek] #7 Can we improve h-entry backcompat to handle common WordPress hentry streams?
#
tantek (or anyone else here with default-ish themes who has ever had trouble getting their microformats parsed properly - all frustrations welcome - looking for ways to improve parsing of existing default WordPress themes)
#
GWG I'm going to have to give that thought
#
Loqi GWG: tantek left you a message 10 minutes ago: forgot to cc you on this but perhaps you have some additional suggestions: https://github.com/microformats/h-entry/issues/7

[unoabraham] Any pointers on importing data from Facebook to my WordPress blog? Backdated is better.

[kimberlyhirsh] Hi folks! Been indiewebbing for about a year but looking to get fancy now. Current task: getting replies/reposts/likes/quotes of tweets that I post in WordPress to publish to Twitter. I've got the Post Kinds plug-in and Bridgy Publish. Right now I can only get this to work if I manually put the link with the appropriate class (eg u-in-reply-to) in the post's body manually. Is that the only way to do it or am I missing a way to get
#
[kimberlyhirsh] do it for me?
#
GWG [kimberlyhirsh]: When you use the Post Kinds plugin, do you set the Kind to reply and fill the information in the box that appears?
#
GWG Also, what's the site?
#
[kimberlyhirsh] Yes.
#
GWG If you can show me a post that didn't work, I can look at what it is outputting.
#
GWG [kimberlyhirsh]: I want to make sure they both work for everyone.
#
[kimberlyhirsh] Here's an example repost, made with Post Kinds: http://kimberlyhirsh.com/3967-2/ I get the error from Bridgy Publish "Bridgy Error: Could not find a tweet to retweet."
#
Loqi [Kimberly Hirsh] I say this to my past self, and maybe to some of you: the more you take charge of your career during graduate school, the better off you'll be. You can get away with some passivity in undergrad (just get a degree) but grad school, esp PhD, is entirel... http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/677c9d115cebdf99ee9e4940627f368f?s=100&d=mm&r=g
#
GWG I see what the problem is, I think
#
GWG Can you try something for me?
#
[kimberlyhirsh] Sure
#
GWG Go under the Post Kinds Settings and uncheck "Embed Sites into Your Response" and try it again.
#
GWG I think it is the embeds.
#
[kimberlyhirsh] That fixed it. Thanks!
#
GWG [kimberlyhirsh]: https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/164
#
Loqi [dshanske] #164 Rich Embeds Disable Proper Markup
#
GWG Already noted it to fix
#
GWG [kimberlyhirsh]: Followup question...the embed version, which Twitter delivers, vs the native version, which the plugin generates...do you prefer one over the other?
#
GWG [kimberlyhirsh]: Also, good luck with the Doctorate. I have an MLS myself. I'm not employed in the space, and I miss it.

#
[miklb] also, hi!
#
[miklb] GWG is that a new issue?
#
GWG [miklb]: I think it happened when I took the request to change from p-in-reply-to to u-in-reply-to
#
[miklb] I mean, I see the issue was just opened, but did it only just start happening. I might have solved that problem in my templates by extracting out the correct url and applying the class
#
GWG I don't know how long its been like that, but I just noticed it because [kimberlyhirsh] prompted me to look
#
[miklb] https://github.com/miklb/independence/blob/master/kind_views/kind-reply.php#L24 that’s my hack
#
[kimberlyhirsh] @GWG I have a slight preference for the embed.
#
GWG [miklb]: Is it worth merging that, you think?
#
GWG [kimberlyhirsh]: What could I add to the non-embed version to tip the scales?
#
[miklb] I dunno. Maybe get some other testers? It might be fragile as I was only focused on Twitter.
#
[miklb] If embeds weren’t doable with post-kinds, I personally would look at other options for my site.
#
GWG [miklb]: I could put it as a setting and test it.
#
GWG [miklb]: I have no plans to remove it. I just wonder if I can enhance it more.
#
GWG [miklb]: But, the code you use could be more reliable if you check to ensure you are only adding u-url when the url matches the one you sent in

#
[kimberlyhirsh] @gwg I don't really think there's anything in particular. I like the look of the embed but it's a pretty superficial preference.
#
GWG I'll be fixing the embed and enhancing the other regardless
