[tw2113_Slack_] Finally decided to give Algolia Search a whirl on apiratelifeforme. Mostly because I am part of the support team at work for the semi-official plugin, so real time experience will help me 😄

petermolnar capjamesg[d]: re: /why
# petermolnar I completely agree that "Why have your own website" and "Why Indie Web" are too washed together, and I'd like to propose of splitting them. "Why have your own website" != "Why Indie Web" - a website can be one's hub/home/portfolio without any indieweb building blocks.
# petermolnar Maybe we could compose an alternative to /why, which separates website/indieweb, and on the next level (h3 to be specific) separates the bullet points/reasonings per audience?
# petermolnar by audience I mean more of what might be driving one, like urge of self-expression, a design challenge, wanting to learn, etc.
# petermolnar looking at today's image/video centric feeds, that page also needs graphic examples for many points
# petermolnar also, things like "Identity and recognition", second sentence of "Better UI and UX", etc are essentially the same.

capjamesg[d] You are in #indieweb-wordpress 😄
# petermolnar wtf
# capjamesg[d] I'll respond in #meta.
# petermolnar how?!
# petermolnar sorry, all :D
# capjamesg[d] (that's what I am seeing on Discord)
# petermolnar I am in -wordpress indeed; my tab order got rearranged accidentally, but my muscle memory didn't care.
# petermolnar I'll copy-paste my stuff over, and mea culpa.
# capjamesg[d] Ah, haha!
# capjamesg[d] I think we all make that mistake some time.

# [Will_Monroe] Hello everyone, after seeing some modifications of WordPress themes that have indieweb functionality, I've been trying to tinker with the creation of a child theme. There are many, many guides out there. But I was wondering if you are aware of any child theme tutorials, videos, resources specifically aimed at folks who desire the integration of indieweb features.
# [Will_Monroe] Thanks @GWG, I'm going to take another shot at creating the basic files (styles.css, functions.php) again and be in touch. Seemed like the simplest task and yet, I kept getting error messages from my WP theme chooser interface. The styles.css file wasn't being recognized.
# [Will_Monroe] Good eye. I will double check that.
# [Will_Monroe] Singular. And that's what I had in my child theme directory.
