The duplication of Instagram posts was a bug that got fixed. Mostly it's got a bunch more post kinds (you can choose which in the settings) for those who want them, though if likes and replies are all you need... Hopefully you've found the IW Press This bookmarklets to make things easier: https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieweb-press-this

Some people find that they prefer to tweak the CSS for the display of the kinds and David Shanske is also building in some customize-able templates to make things easier for those who want to tweak things for better display.

Thanks Richard, this reminds me that I've been meaning to delve back into some of the blogroll functionality hiding within my WordPress install. It's not as updated as it should be, but you can find mine at http://boffosocko.com/wp-links-opml.php including a few subcategories of Indieweb (or related) folks, as well as an "open education" list which consists of people who are aware of or actively practicing Indieweb principles in the education space.

You're also sure to find a handful of interesting tidbits at http://indieweb.org/blogroll. It may take some more manual labor, but you might find it useful to scrape for indieweb sites in one of these three locations (in decreasing order): http://indieweb.org/IRC_People, http://indieweb.org/Special:ActiveUsers, or http://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=&creationSort=1&limit=50.

If you're looking for a relatively full-featured RSS reader for WordPress, I highly recommend the PressForward [http://pressforward.org/] plugin. It doesn't have some of the niceties I mentioned in Feed Reader Revolution [http://altplatform.org/2017/06/09/feed-reader-revolution/], but it's a pretty good start for the integration piece, and it's open. I'd written some thoughts about it here: http://boffosocko.com/2016/12/31/pressforward-as-an-indieweb-wordpress-based-rss-feed-reader-pocketinstapaper-replacement/

I don't think he'd linked to it, but Colin Walker has a "beta" webmention plugin he built for his functionality which is on Github: https://github.com/colin-walker/webmention-directory

The missing close parenthesis should be on line 72 before the closing em tag in at https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/blob/master/includes/views/kind.php

Thus:
<code>echo '&lt;em&gt; (' . $site_name . ')&lt;/em&gt;';</code>

@andreweckford I'll wait to see what the "webmaster" posts later. :) Thanks for the live tweeting you're doing, particularly the linked stream. I know you're most of the way through, but next time you might give http://www.noterlive.com/ a try for live tweeting. It allows you to quickly search for and change speakers (and their twitter handles), does auto-threading, as well as does auto hashtagging for following the conversation. This'll free you up for simply typing and hitting enter and not fiddling with all the other bits along the way.

It will also save your entire tweet stream from the conference in a simple format so you can cut and paste your work into a blog post quickly after-the-fact for archiving into the conference website (or your own).

It's one of the best conference tools I've come across for this type of thing.

Andreas, The best way I'm aware of to do read posts with #WithKnown currently is to post a status update to the effect. I've been considering doing a plugin similar to Jonathan LaCour's Watching https://github.com/cleverdevil/Known-Watching but for books. In fact, other than some cut and paste work and changing the microformats, it should be a simple thing. I'd almost feel guilty for "stealing" it.

I've started hacking away at a Read plugin similar to the bookmark or like functionalities that simply bookmarks articles which I've read online, but it's got some quirky upstream issues that need to be solved before I can finish it. Ultimately it's really for online content more so than books (or even magazines) though. I may circle back around to it sometime toward the end of the summer as I'm trying to finish up some last pieces on my Reading workflows for WordPress.

@realkimhansen @jimpick I heard earlier today that Tung.fm has been open-sourced on Github. https://tung.fm #podcasting

Did this get rolled up into the 4.3.0 pre release?
https://github.com/PressForward/pressforward/releases/tag/4.3.0-pr

If it did, it doesn't seem to have fixed the root issue after I just installed and tested it. I'm still finding that older posts (pre-PressForward) which have no value set for `pf_forward_to_origin` are attempting to forward (back to themselves) when setting a time >0 in the forward settings. Those which have a value of `forward` do forward properly and those with a value of `no-forward` don't. The problem is for posts which existed prior to installing PressForward which have no value set at all.

Some of the issue is that WordPress has a huge number of plugins which adds a lot of additional complexity (especially for Micropub clients) which isn't always going to be handled by every client.

As for webmentions, they're being bolted onto WordPress which doesn't have (or allow) a custom comment type, so they're jury-rigged in the best manner possible. There is still ongoing work, especially with the Semantic Linkbacks Plugin which does a lot of the heavy lifting here, if you've got thoughts/ideas, you should certainly weigh in on those Github issues as they are evolving.

I know there were a handful of quirks that have been changed in Known in the past months to fix some issues with microformats that were being parsed incorrectly, and thus caused other platforms like WordPress not to let them display as nicely when received. I think most have been merged and a new release of Known was pushed yesterday and should hopefully clear up some of these issues. I think the developers of the WordPress plugins and even the Known community are very responsive, so feel free to jump in with feedback, suggestions, or even pull requests on any of the pieces which are all on GitHub.

I'm sure there will be some remaining rough edges, but in general a lot of them have been smoothed over in the past year and most improvements now seem to be geared towards making the suite of tools more user friendly or to better extend the functionality.

@davidmead, Not directly related, but in lieu of OwnYourGram, which is very solid, you might also want to take a look at https://github.com/jtsternberg/DsgnWrks-Instagram-Importer which is a WordPress specific Instagram importer. Because it was built specifically for WordPress it's got a lot of additional pre-built functionality that allows you to set Post Format, Post Kind (if you're using Post Kinds plugin), handle hashtags, Import your entire Instagram history (not just from when you started using OYG), set the photo as Featured (or not), categories and tags, and a bunch of other subtle bells and whistles that are WordPress specific and not well supported by OYG. Otherwise, it works much like OYG does on the back end and includes all of the meta-data including GPS coordinates and location data if you choose to include it in your post.

@davidmead I'm curious what method you're using for syndicating to twitter that's causing this? That may be the better question to address. It's likely if you're having a problem, others will as well.

In the interim, you can find all the prior releases here: https://github.com/pfefferle/SemPress/releases. From here you also have the ability to view the changes between releases so you can potentially easily track down the pieces of code which changed and may be causing issues.

You might also find it easier to create a [child theme](http://indieweb.org/WordPress/Themes#Child_Themes) of SemPress with some small changes to improve your specific issues, this way you'll still get other future updates from the parent.

I REALLY LOVE how the feed reader https://woodwind.xyz/ is set up and integrates directly into my own website for publishing and replies. I'm hoping that as it evolves, this is the type of functionality and UI/UX that @manton also continues to aspire toward with micro.blog. (Hint: there's code on GitHub - https://github.com/kylewm/woodwind)

@Tamaracks There's no need to explicitly set a Post Format in WordPress as it will automatically be set based on the Post Kind setting in Post Kinds on initial publish. (You can also tweak them by hand if necessary, so for example when using the `note` kind it automatically sets the Post Format to `aside`, but I prefer to use `status`, so I replaced `aside` with `status` just under 'note' => array( in the code here: https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/blob/master/includes/class-kind-taxonomy.php

I also think @dshanske fixed the proper kind settings on micropub in the latest development branch of post kinds as well. https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/87 (Hopefully this should take care of checkins as well.)

@jimmymansaray I'm sure it's not an Independent Publisher issue. You might also ask Colin where he got it and if it had actually worked for him. I think I saw that snippet floating around last week. I think Colin has ultimately changed to the following instead: https://github.com/colin-walker/wordpress-blank-title.

It adds the kind of date/time stamp you're looking for (or is modifiable with some research) and has the added benefit that micro.blog should ignore the time stamp and just import the_content() of your status update instead.

Honestly, I'd recommend going without a title if you can manage it. If you need something in your admin UI, you might try this suggestion as well: http://boffosocko.com/2017/05/04/title-less-status-updates-for-micro-blog/

I notice that https://baty.blog/ (also https://micro.blog/jack) is also using Independent Publisher to do somewhat the same thing.
