Welcome to the Microblog section of my website, here you will find short snippets, linkposts and imageposts in my own little social stream. These posts are syndicated directly to my Mastodon and BlueSky accounts. Filter by topic >>>




Strangely my migration to my self-hosted mastodon server seems to have dropped my follows of (but not followers from) social.lol accounts. Hopefully I've found and readded them all today...

A screenshot from my Helvetica heavy bearblog theme.

Having spent the last week or so playing around with BearBlog, I've just spent the last few hours importing everything into my main site. I can learn from the simplicity, but my Kirby CMS build just does more...

I've wanted to align my fediverse handle and email address for a while, and have prevaricated for a few weeks over how best to do it. In the end I set up a family server on my prry.uk domain, hopefully ending the inertia.

I've implemented the sharing and button upgrades from @mauricerenck@mastodon.online IndieConnector 2.10.0 for KirbyCMS. It tidied up my panel view, with most blueprints fitting on a page.

I have quickly added 4 x webmention templates to my site for bookmarks, likes, replies and reposts. Still working out exactly how they work, but excited about the functionality this adds to my site.

My website has updated itself to Kirby 5.0 while I've been out today, and the world has not ended. Hello dark view.

Screenshot of kirby panel view with mirrored abstract field for syndication, but with additional data not displayed on page.

Testing out a direct post approach to Mastodon using IndieConnecter and reply collector with a dedicated field. A little duplication/compromise, but hopefully best combination of output & function.

My link post format makes much more sense syndicated through rss on to micro.blog, than it does direct posted through to mastodon and Bluesky. Might need to revisit that.

Excited to have installed v2.8 of @mauricerenck@mastodon.online's indieConnector, collecting responses directly from Mastodon and Bluesky. Now I just need to work out how to turn brid.gy off.

I think I have rss and microformats near enough now. I'm hoping to manually switch over to my bridgy user over the weekend, and switch off syndication - @lee-perry.co.uk@lee-perry.co.uk

Screen shot of two safari windows, with the different representations of a post from bridgy on Mastodon and bluesky as described in post.

Two shots of the same post on my fed.brid.gy user from mastodon with files and tags, and bluesky as card only. Can anybody shed any light on what might be causing bluesky to only render the preview card?

Screenshot of the kirby panel view with file sizes and dimensions displayed below image cards.

It took a little research to find out how to display file sizes nicely on card previews in the @getkirby panel, but the appropriately named

text: "{{ file.nicesize }} - {{ file.dimensions }}"

query does just that.

I'm still experimenting with fed.brid.gy as a direct fediverse presence for my site. I quite like the concept, though I need to add additional content types for likes, shares and comments for that to work properly.

I'm going to experiment with using @lee-perry.co.uk@lee-perry.co.uk on fed.brid.gy to see if viable as main fedivers presence. Mainly to reduce time scrolling through crap.

It's been a really busy year, so I've a couple of months of football to catch up on in my digital garden. Advance apologies for the incoming torrent of all things Burnley I'm about to add to my feed!

Screenshot of an imagepost appearing in the micro.blog timeline, with a picture of a podenco featured below a description of the post.

Achievement of the weekend was refining my rss feed to show micro posts as titleless posts in the micro. blog timeline. Had it working last night, but fully rebuilt it today as I broke something with my final tweaks last night.

Screenshot of my website showing a test comment from bluesky land on my last micropost, a test comment from Mastodon sits below the fold and outwith this image.

After spending the evening rebuilding microformats, as hoped, comments are now landing on the target article, and not my homepage. The indiewebify.me validators made this so much easier than the documentation.

Screenshot from my website showing more fun run and ride activity data at the top of each page with appropriate emojis for each metric.

As knee deep in code today, I also took the opportunity to upgrade the run/ride metadata on my site so that is more prominent and iconised, similar to my RSS and echofeed streams.

I’m weighing moving my fediverse presence (but not my website) back to micro.blog rather than running own instance. What I don’t know is if I would still receive like and boost webmentions made on mastodon, though not surfaced on micro.blog

Screenshot of a stadium page in my digital garden with automated lists of visits, and auto generated gallery.

I've come up with a way to link blog and digital garden pages together on my website using a hidden tag field. I would have preferred to reverse the linked page field, but struggled to implement.

I can get on now with building out the remainder of my structure, and tidying up and arranging my content. While for future posts the two sections are semi automatically linked, galleries build directly from uploads, and the new RSS feeds automate posting to the IndieWeb.

Last night I changed all of the YouTube iframes on my site to no cookie variants, with a few Loom and Strava iframes still to resolve. That leaves a few trinket.io code playgrounds with session cookies to work out how best to replace.
