[jhsheridan] my use is like [xavierroy] describes. Categories generic buckets, tags more specific. In tags I try to add terms that aren’t in the text or title of the posting (synonyms e.g.) and tags that are my own shorthand for things (netag for networked agency e.g.), which correspond to tags I use in my personal workflow in e.g. Evernote / my todo app etc. Categories are an expression of ‘major themes’ I’m writing about, so they

added to over time as my interests shift. A few categories I use as content streams ‘day to day’ , check-ins, and books. This as I separate these out so they don’t show on the front page blog, and so I can keep them out of my main RSS feed.

I can't DM you on Slack from IRC. Wait while I fire up Slack.

I'm trying to test Webmention functionality on my site. If you would be willing to reply to this post (I'd really appreciate it): https://willtmonroe.com/blog/116/

[Will_Monroe]: got something?
#
[Will_Monroe]
@beko[m] Unfortunately no. But thank you!
#
beko[m]
That's odd. Wait I'll try manually
#
beko[m]
I've a feeling that something is broken on my part. Second time I hear this.
#
beko[m]
Well when done manually it returns `code: success` [Will_Monroe]
#
[Will_Monroe]
Could be my site too. I've recently learned that my web hosting company may be blocking requests from webmention.io
#
[Will_Monroe]
Interesting. I guess that's good. I just can't see anything.
#
beko[m]
Not using this.
#
beko[m]
Your blog announces webmention endpoint on your site itself and not webmention.io - The message is from your blog.
#
beko[m]
comment-5 btw. Check your spam/comment inbox I'd say.
#
[Will_Monroe]
Thank you. That sounds good. Just need to figure out why it's not displaying. I appreciate your help!
#
[Will_Monroe]
@beko[m] I see it in my Comments Spam folder. This is a good start!
#
beko[m]
👍️

beko[m]
How many did you get? curious

sounds about right. Posted, Updated to retrigger and one manually.
#
[Will_Monroe]
Also received the message "couldn't parse pagename or summary"
#
beko[m]
That's from me, yeah.
#
[Will_Monroe]
So webmention works but my Comments filtering is identifying them as Spam and my posts don't seem to adhere to microformats.
#
beko[m]
Sounds about right.

[jgmac1106]

[Will_Monroe] just fyi you can test by sending yourself a webmention! just reply to your own post. no need to depend on other people for testing
#
[snarfed]
(needing other people to test is a minor antipattern 😎)

[jgmac1106] thank you for the Akismet advice. I will try to help it do just that.

I'm using IW26 https://github.com/dshanske/iw26

[Will_Monroe]
[jeremycherfas] thank you
#
[Will_Monroe]
[snarfed] I appreciate that advice! I'll keep all three of those approaches in mind going forward.
