Hilarious! 🙂

POSSE For quite a while now, I’ve been publishing most of my content to my personal website first and syndicating copies of it to social media silos like Twitter, Instagram, Google+, and Facebook. Within the Indieweb community this process is known as POSSE an acronym for Post on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere.

Rafting at Poconos
Back to the waters after a long time. I believe we covered about 12 miles in about 4.5 hours. Wasn’t as tired as I expected it to be.

Some insanely funny falls from the rafts. We almost lost our captain to the waters! Had about four Grade II and a couple of Grade III rapids. I think I’m prepared for higher grades now. Also strengthened my resolve to get a kayak this year.

Was a fabulous way to celebrate a couple of birthdays in the family. Should do this more often.

@thestring.bean Met a few nobo’s and sobo’s yesterday at Mt Minci. Was reminded of your FKT attempt. All power to you!

Philip, I dynamically add the ‘Liked:’ and ‘Replied to:’ phrase to the title of the post using some crude code in my back-end. Essentially, I use a couple of workflows to fetch the link/article details and then add the markup et al using a custom functions in my wp install. Would be more than happy to share them if you’re interested in taking a look.

Also I noticed your posts are not marked up with microformats for like and replies. The Indieweb PressThis bookmarklet should ideally add the necessary microformat markup to your posts. For some reason, It doesn’t seem to be doing so. I’ll take a look later today to see what’s transpiring there.

Depending on your publishing preference there are a few other alternatives. Not sure if you’ve explored these already:

  • Quill : Aaron’s posting interface works great on both desktop and mobile devices
  • Omnibear : Keith’s Chrome bookmarklet
  • Using the Bookmarklet Free or URL Forwarder apps on android and tweaking the settings mentioned in one of Chris Aldrich’s notes
  • The WordPress plugin developed by Colin Walker which coupled with his workflows could be used to post from an apple device.

That previous post was an attempt to “like” this post using IndieWeb Press This. I’d used the tool successfully earlier, but this time I didn’t see the “Liked:” prefix on the post (and I don’t see the “Reply:” prefix on this one).

Thanks for setting this up, Chris! Some interesting plugins out there on the WP front.

I’ve been meaning to do it for quite a while, but I’ve finally started a stub in the Indieweb wiki for the topic . There is a rapidly growing group of writers and journalists who have been joining the Indieweb movement, and it’s long overdue to create a list of resources specific to the topic to help out ourselves and others in the future.
