Indieweb Test
I'm trying to use webmentions again with the plugin. To make this work, I had to downgrade my Jekyll install to 3.9 - good to know it is still being maintained.
Might be time to start familiarizing myself with Mastodon.

Webmentions Again
Testing webmentions (again) using Brett's fork of the Webmention.io plugin.

Feed Readers FTW
TFW both feeds render correctly in Reeder πΎ
I wish I could rewrite the previous sentence - swapping in NetNewswire in its place - but alas, Feed Wrangler support is still forthcoming.

JSON Feeds
Continuing with the theme of all things feed-related, notes and posts are available as a pair of JSON feeds.

RSS for Notes
Notes published to the site now have their own RSS feed. While there are other ways to interleave these posts into the regular feed - I wanted to keep things as simple as possible.
Still, the ideas here might work for adding a feed for the linkblog.
Long Version Control
Noun.
The process which often occurs after a substantial change to a project where - either due to complexity or the passage of time - it is near impossible to remember what was actually done. This makes creating sensible commits difficult and usually involves running git difftool
on individual files to come up with a reasonable explanation of how the problem was solved or a new feature added.
Side effects can include a large number of editor windows and cognitive overload.
A form of Yak shaving.

Work in Progress
Behind the scenes, I've been working on a number of fairly substantial changes to the site. While the look hasn't changed all that much, under the hood, it's a definite step up.
In the spirit of the Indieweb, notes - e.g, microblog-style posts, reposts, and replies - are in and the linkblog has been improved (they're both powered by Jekyll's support for collections). I also rebuilt the way layouts are handled and - in true Jekyll style - all of them now inherit from the default one.
Liquid templates have their quirks, but the whole process wasn't overly difficult.
