[chrisaldrich] I'm starting to think that every time I have a bizarre idea, I ought to just google the keywords with the phrase "kevin marks" and save myself the effort. 🙂

Loqi +1

petermolnar !tell ndegruchy pandoc can handle templates in it's own, and thus generate a full-blown html page from anything it can handle. Variables can either be passed as command line options, or be in metadata, eg. yaml frontmatter for markdown. It's a perfectly viable way to make a site.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

ndegruchy I think I'm at peace with WordPress + IndieWeb. For all it's warts and rough edges, it's not bad. It's not the greatest site, but it's mine.

[tw2113] and we’re always trying to make it better and a more streamlined experience and all that jazz
#
[tw2113] wart removals 😄
#
ndegruchy Trying to decide if I like the "Rich Text Editor" or one of the million Markdown editors. I normally use the block editor, but that's not yet compatible

[manton] @GWG Got a report today about the WP plugin's switching to JSON Feed 1.1 because of the "authors" (plural) field. What do you think about adding "author" too for compatibility for a little while, until enough apps support the new field name? (I'm about to look at the code, but thought I'd ask you first.)
#
GWG [manton]: That's fine....If you don't do it, I will.
#
GWG It makes sense
#
[manton] Cool, I'll poke at it in a minute and do a pull request if that sounds good.

#
[manton] @GWG When you have a minute, do you mind looking over that pull request? I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually tested this change because my WordPress setup is all different now. About to test on another blog.
#
[manton] Okay, finished testing and it looks good to me.
#
GWG I will look... can't give it full attention till after work, but I am taking a break to eat lunch and need reading material anyway
#
GWG Looks good

[chrisaldrich] !tell ndegrunchy if you've got the Micropub plugin working on your site, there are a handful of editor clients you can use to create posts. Here's a list: https://indieweb.org/Micropub/Clients or if you want a deeper dive: https://wordpress.tv/2019/06/26/chris-aldrich-micropub-and-wordpress-custom-posting-applications/
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
ndegruchy I'm here

#
[chrisaldrich] ndegruchy, if you're on Apple platforms iaWriter recently added micropub functionality to their markdown editor which I've heard good things about.
#
ndegruchy Yeah, I was looking at that. Tempting.
#
ndegruchy I like that it's buy once and no IAP

[Paulo_Pinto] Hi everybody! New Wordpress (Indieweb) user I have a question. I had Independent Publisher installed and changed to IndieWeb Publisher (primary version) by David. All my *Syndicated to* links disappeared from my posts. Do you know how can I get them displayed again? Thanks!
#
GWG I can look... I haven't worked on Indieweb publisher in ages
#
GWG Can you open an issue?
#
[Paulo_Pinto] sure
