[xavierroy] Having a strange issue with micropub. Posts work from Quill but not from Teacup or Micropublish. I get an Unable to verify the sign-in attempt (Teacup) and 400 received from token endpoint. Body: {"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"The request is missing one or more required parameters"} (Micropublish)

reed And magically, like that, indigenous started working for me again. Maybe Dreamhost changed something or some of the recent updates to WordPress/plugins

GWG reed: Wasn't I
#
reed I just got lucky then :)
#
GWG How is your Indieweb WordPress experience otherwise?

#
reed not bad after all ... I getting used to the quirks... Now that I have corrected the bookmarklets I can make better posts at least from the desktop. From mobile I can now reboot the experiments :)
#
GWG reed: Indieweb is like a never-ending journey
#
reed like wordpress itself :)
#
reed at this stage, I'm using jetpack to syndicate to twitter and I like getting the comments/reply back on my site
#
GWG reed: Even when you are standing still, you are still moving through space along with the rest of the planet
#
reed I'm setting up a new site, I'll try adding indieweb capabilities on that one too
#
reed on my personal site I have an issue with the theme, it's doing some funky escaping breaking the rss and also today I noticed it breaks the posts in indiegenous, too
#
GWG Anything we can do..m
#
reed the biggest struggle I have now is not indieweb related 🙂 I'm trying to avoid having to manage tracking cookies authorization and I found out that way too many plugins want to plant all sorts of crap
#
reed I think some like optinmonster are even blocked by my adblock by default
#
reed or by pihole, they're so bad
#
GWG reed: I gave up on analytics to a degree
#
reed not just analytics, that would be simple :) I realized of this problem when I started looking for ways to handle email newsletter, signup forms, popups etc... the most popular plugins are very invasive
#
reed I didn't realize that, it's a surprise to me

#
reed DreamHost responded, indeed they moved my instance to a new system running on nginx cache (instead of varnish) and that may have fixed the auth issue

#
GWG I had an idea about email newsletter as a posse item

#
reed how would that work?
[tw2113_Slack_] joined the channel
#
[tw2113_Slack_] last night i started exploring whatever options i can have to allow subscribing by email to my posts
#
[tw2113_Slack_] trying out 1 plugin that’s supposed to post to Mailchimp and send out the email to all in a given list
#
[tw2113_Slack_] otherwise i’ll move over to providing Mailchimp my RSS feed and they can act as a feedreader that multiple are subscribed to
#
reed there are a lot of plugins for that ... in the old days I think I used Subscribe2
#
reed it works like wordpress.com, people with an account on your WP can decide to receive every new post and comment as an email
#
[tw2113_Slack_] i’d basically be breaking indieweb ideals and having Mailchimp handle the contact list storage as well as handle the actual mailing
#
[tw2113_Slack_] but this is also only for my web development blog too
#
reed I just installed the plugin "Newsletter" and it seems to be good enough for my needs at the moment
#
reed once I go beyond 1k subscribers we'll see :)
#
GWG I was going to build it using mailgun
