jhsheridan interested to know how indieweb wordpressers feel about categories vs tags. Which do you use and why? Or do you not use them at all?

#
jacky good question
[xavierroy] joined the channel
#
[xavierroy] I think of Category as a generic bucket and tags as being content specific.
#
[xavierroy] I have a category called Books and I use tags like audiobooks or graphic novels or Batman to tag posts. I just don't like the default category of Uncategorised that WP provides.
#
[xavierroy] If I move to a different tool, I may do only tags and not categories
#
jhsheridan_ Thanks for the info xavierroy. I'm thinking of solely using tags myself
#
jhsheridan_ I kinda feel like the post kind would be what I would normally use categories for
#
GWG I don't use categories much
#
[xavierroy] Yes. with Post Kinds, categories are redundant.

jeremycherfas Can I just say that if anyone is contemplating a move to Dreamhost, I have an offer that gets both of us a discount.

jhsheridan_ is the indiewebify.me webmention sender functioning correctly?
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
beko[m] jhsheridan_: the webmention tester does. I assume it uses the function. there's also a Curl howto where you can do this manually to see what happens
#
jhsheridan_ I got it figured out... thanks beko
#
jhsheridan_ Now I'm getting a 401 error when trying to connect bridgy to my instagram acct
#
jhsheridan_ any ideas on what could be causing this?
#
beko[m] Sounds like it's not connected. Try reconnecting it.
#
jhsheridan_ What do you mean by that?
#
jhsheridan_ I am noticing on indiewebify.me that instagram "does not link back"
#
jhsheridan_ but I just checked my instagram profile and I have the exact link on there

[Lewis_Cowles] [jeremycherfas] I’ve been a happy customer since 2006
#
beko[m] jhsheridan_: I don't know intagram but "does not link back" means in this context that it does not set a 'rel="me"' tag on your page.
#
beko[m] It's also not required for bridging. It's just some sort of "proof" that this is really you.
#
jhsheridan_ ok cool... so it's not afdfecting bridgy
#
jhsheridan_ gmm
#
jhsheridan_ hmm*
#
beko[m] Usually you authorize an app like bridgy to make use of your account and it seems like this step failed or the token for bridgy was revoked again.
#
beko[m] I'm not sure how this is for instagram since, as written above, I don't do this. Someone else may provide more insight here.
#
jhsheridan_ ok thanks for the info beko
#
beko[m] yw 🙂

#
jhsheridan_ Looks like my bridgy instagram issue is due to Instagram cracking down on scraping: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/883
#
jhsheridan_ And it's affecting OwnYourGram too: https://github.com/aaronpk/OwnYourGram/issues/85
#
jgmac1106 jermeycherfas I am gonna talk to Dreamhost later and see what my pricing would be or if I am am in the >1% who violate “unlimited” it says no archiving and I do both with readings and music…but I don’t share them
#
beko[m] jhsheridan_: damn… but not totally unexpected. It's FB after all.
#
jhsheridan_ yep... not much we can do about it
