@TerribleMia You've got your own site and control your URLs, so you're definitely on it! And you've got Webmentions for additional icing on the cake. Kudos! I'm glad you've managed to get things set up and working for yourself. It definitely helps to have small bite-sized pieces of technology to rely on to get it all going.
You're right that it's a lot of work on individuals, but there are some emerging platforms/providers attempting to make all of this technology easier on the general public who don't have the time, technical skills, or desire to maintain any of their own systems. Micro.blog is one of these options to be sure. A few others can be found here: https:/
Congratulations again!
@reading @leppert First, let me say a resounding THANK YOU for all your work and dedication to @Reading! Congratulations on a long run of a fantastic and flexible little service. I know I and many others will miss it desperately.

@finiteeyes Congratulations on what appears to be a new site. As you think about public/private and provide an example to others, I'm curious if your comments are avatar-less on purpose or if you've just not come across Gravatar yet?

@reclaimvideo Can I apply for a video rental card from LA? I'd use it as a second form of ID to go with my Ralph's card. #thedudeabides #Congratulations #the80sareback
@jimgroom Congratulations on the first two. I can tell you from personal experience that the third one is insanely expensive and incredibly difficult. But there's also nothing better.
@sadlerjw You've certainly found a few of the remaining pain points within the broader community and specifically with WordPress. There are obviously some UI bits like properly threaded conversations across multiple syndicated silos that could be better. I've written a tad about how threaded comments work between sites using WordPress, though didn't touch on the idea of doing so also using Twitter or micro.blog: http:/
Ideally in the end, everything would support Webmention and needing to syndicate to outside services would be somewhat moot.
As long as the conversation for something on micro.blog starts on your own site, the replies that occur there will generally flow back to your site via Webmention, but sadly one needs to use some manual chicanery to get a similar back and forth effect with other services like Twitter.
I suspect that in the coming months/year(s) things on this end will improve as the community marches forward.
Either way, congratulations on what you've done with you're site! Hope to see you around either via reader or micro.blog.
Congratulations on bridging your latest gap! I really like some of the visual changes you've made.
Thanks as well for your thoughts and feedback. If you have a moment in the coming weeks to document or add any pieces you thought were missing to the broader parts of the wiki, I'm sure it'll go a long way toward helping others who come after you. In particular, I'm curious what method you chose to POSSE and the problems you ran into there. Feel free to add more specific notes into the chat (where others will see and act on them) as well so we can try to smooth over these pain points.
Congrats again!
@scott_gruber, sorry I didn't see this until this morning. Last night I had some issues connecting to the wifi for the first chunk of the meeting, so I didn't get the chance to document things into the chat as we went along.
It sounds to me like you got a lot of great things arranged and working on your site though! Congratulations on the Webmentions progress. That's awesome!!
That's a great #indieweb Christmas present. Congratulations! https:/
@steveivy It's amazing how things can change in 10 years isn't it. Congratulations on 10 years of #DiSo!
Three cheers for the open web.
