# hawbringer @GWG, cool! I'm inexperienced when it comes to code. I'm at the part in the "Getting Started on Wordpress" doc that talks about how finding and placing an h-card widget into a block.
# hawbringer Yeah, I have all the recommended plugins installed, but don't see anything labeled "h-card" when I do a search. There's something I can add called "Custom HTML"
# hawbringer shoot yeah wish I could find the plugin to keep it simple. I don't mind going the HTML route either. The example in the documentation link seems missing, so not sure what the plugin's supposed to look like.
# hawbringer Ok, where on WP do you see it?
# hawbringer No luck. I think widgets transitioned to blocks, and no returns for anything related to h-card. Is there a unique interface for the plugin that I can open maybe?
# hawbringer for the IndieWeb plugin I mean
# hawbringer Oh, just learned that widgets are only compatible with certain themes, so I'm guessing that's it.
# hawbringer alright I'm game
# hawbringer *puts away coffee mug discreetly under desk
# hawbringer yeah, I would try HTML
# hawbringer Ok, so I use a Custom HTML block and cpaste the minimal example you linked. What do I plug in to get my URL and image in there?
# hawbringer insitze.org
# hawbringer right now it's a way to host/organize my music stuff, but there's also a running blog on various topics
# hawbringer looks like the html worked!
# hawbringer Gotchu awhuh. I'm reading up on some of the other h-properties; that's one hell of a name tag!
# hawbringer How long have you been active with indieweb?
# hawbringer yeah, I bet. I'm at ground 0 for a lot of this kind of stuff, but the principles resonate. Ten years being a code sponge seems like it'd give you a nice perspective on it all.
# hawbringer Yeah, I dig that.

# hawbringer GWG: Hey, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to make an h-card that can replace my header with the same info.
# hawbringer Did you ever find the long way to make the widget work?
# hawbringer Oh jeez. I guess is there a way to configure the HTML so that I can add things like socials and customize the layout a bit?
# hawbringer layout meaning position and size mainly
