Hello!
#
GWG
Had to release a fix for Mapbox in Simple Location. Apparently they changed the default map styles
#
GWG
petermolnar, by the way..

[petermolnar] #55 why not using the native comment_type?
#
GWG
Has been blessed
#
petermolnar

#
GWG
Yes
#
GWG
Pain to implement migration though
#
GWG
Some people have a lot of webmentions

Good morning IndieWeb! I seem to be having a problem with syndicating to Twitter via Bridgy using Syndication Links. Here's the log page from Bridgy, which ends with the error "I Couldn't find link to brid.gy/publish/twitter": https://brid.gy/log?start_time=1554213259&key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lySAsSDVB1Ymxpc2hlZFBhZ2UiIWh0dHBzOi8va2ltYmVybHloaXJzaC5jb20vNzI1Ni0yLwwLEgdQdWJsaXNoGICAwMqE2JAKDA

[jgmac1106]
kimberlyhirsh are you on reclaim as well?
#
[jgmac1106]
I am thinking bitninja, which I think thye used, may have flagged the IP address for Brid.gy haven't really had time to investiagte
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
No, I'm on asmallorange.
#
[jgmac1106]
but I am getting time out errors too
#
[jgmac1106]
though they too could use bitninja
#
[jgmac1106]
pure speculation on my part
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
I don't always get the error. Sometimes it goes through fine, others it doesn't. Sometimes if I try the same post, it'll go through on the third time or something.
#
sknebel
that's not the problem here
#
sknebel
[kimberlyhirsh]: btw, that account shows as "temporarily restricted due to suspicious activity" (also not a reason for that bridgy error, but you should know)
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
Yeah, that's bc there are no tweets there yet.
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
But that acct isn't the one connected to Brid.gy.
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
Brid.gy is connected to [kimberlyhirsh].
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
I've got IFTTT set up to send an RSS to @khirshresearch.
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
We'll see if it stays restricted & suspicious. I'm not too worried about that.

GWG
I have a theory
#
GWG
The one I was investigating
#
GWG
Caching
#
sknebel
Sounds plausible
#
GWG
I have a cache busting proposal
#
GWG
I need someone to help test

So does anyone here know how to get the Tiny Framework theme to work with the Daring Fireball linked list url plugin?
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
Seems like something like that has been asked before... Did it get storted?
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is bookmark?
#
Loqi
A bookmark (or linkblog) is a post that is primarily comprised of a URL, often title text from that URL, sometimes optional text describing, tagging, or quoting from its contents https://indieweb.org/bookmark
#
[chrisaldrich]
What kind of problem are you having with that theme [jeffperry]?
#
[chrisaldrich]
I meant sorted earlier, but portmanteau-ing it with stored to give storted seems entertaining...
#
[jeffperry]
[chrisaldrich] The article is kind of difficult for someone who doesn’t know much about web dev to do this. I tried adding some code but the problem is this post is in regards to the 2010 wp theme. I am using something that doesn’t have things like a loop.php or anything like that

Hello, [asuh]
#
[asuh]
hey GWG, how’s it going
#
GWG
I continue to work on new things
#
[asuh]
Were you able to investigate the Post Kinds bug?
#
[asuh]
I haven’t had so much time last couple of months to attend to WP Indieweb stuff but I’m still itching to get more done
#
GWG
I did.
#
GWG
I have a fix
#
GWG
I need to push it
#
GWG
But I wanted to do more
#
GWG
I added Compass support to Simple Location
#
[asuh]
I saw that, needed to read more to understand that change
#
[asuh]
My thoughts have been bouncing around how to get non-Indieweb people into WordPress or other CMS based sites from Facebook and I keep running into mental roadblocks
#
GWG
There will be more changes around that
#
GWG
Out of curiosity, what confuses you?

[asuh], just ask. I spent months promoting IWC New Haven for not a single response. I sit down to order breakfast for the event in a diner and kick off a conversation with the owner and some customers and suddenly I have people showing up
#
[jgmac1106]
I do still wrap SemPress in a Page Builder, had my university by a developer license. Based on ToS I can give out to people who come to events.
#
[jgmac1106]
@gwg and I worked with two people this weekend who had never been online, no twitter, no instagram, barely any facebook
#
[jgmac1106]
the visual design and not being forced to leave your theme, but that is almost impossible
#
GWG
jgmac1106, I am impressed with your charisma
#
[jgmac1106]
just teaching, got to find the story people want to tell
#
[jgmac1106]
empower them with a website to do so and cheer them on as they go
#
[asuh]
[jgmac1106] my thoughts are more philosophical. The FB integration and interaction is so convenient and I'd have a hard time convincing others of something else
#
[jgmac1106]
then don't. define success one domain at a time
#
[jgmac1106]
...I also say this now as a non WordPress user....
#
[jgmac1106]
just a WordPress teacher
#
[asuh]
Right, I'm trying to learn now to empower existing WP sites before evangelizing the full move
#
[jgmac1106]
try this. I got close
#
[jgmac1106]
Go through a theme, search out any hentry or old h level properties from old microformats, do the same for vcard, then install the microformats pluging
#
[jgmac1106]
I think it may get closeish and would be doable by many as it is a find and delete
#
[asuh]
That's what I was essentially doing with my custom theme and reviewing GWG's work on his iw26 theme
#
GWG
jgmac1106, next time visit LI and we'll work on your project
#
[asuh]
I just haven't made time to do it less complicated themes like _s or even 2019 theme
#
[asuh]
And I like the idea of more indieweb complete themes being available
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah if we could make a fifteen minute guide that showed someone>make a child theme>search out and delete X,YZ, and then install micoroformats 2 I wonder what success rate would be
#
[jgmac1106]
I do to but people don't want to move themes...maybe start with forks of the five most popular like Hueman and others
#
[jgmac1106]
@gwg deal, I think between organizing online with Eddie and then New Haven plus doing all the onboarding I didn't have the energy to touch my guestbook or css grid rubrics
#
[jgmac1106]
[asuh] @gwg could use a look at his updates to Independent Publisher and then getting changes approved in WP.org people love the layout of that theme
#
GWG
I have an _s branch
#
[jgmac1106]
well off to Cub Scouts and then baseball practice
#
GWG
I have too many projects
#
[asuh]
GWG I'll look thru your github issues later and see what I could help with that's less PHP involved
#
GWG
[asuh]: Ideas are welcome
#
GWG
The location issues I discussed
