Interested in the Indieweb, but you already have a WordPress site? Do you have a WordPress website or thinking of starting one?
Whether you’re a blogger, coder, designer, or just someone who wants to improve their presence on the web, if you have a WordPress site and want to add Indieweb functiona…
I am going to attend – should be fun! This is my first time to use a RSVP Post Kinds item, hope it works….
Why use Webmention?
Webmention is the connective tissue of an open, federated communication network of independent websites. It lets you publish content on your own website, and then receive and publish comments, replies, and other reactions posted by others elsewhere on the web.

A cool description of an IndieWebCamp held virtually – neat! (via Chris Aldrich)
Via Chris Aldrich, this is a nice summary of most of the available Indieweb plugins for WordPress. I am also a WordPress user and not looking to change, and I am very happy that there are developers helping WordPress users easily participate in the Indieweb.
Continuing experiments with bookmarklets and mobile posting
Today I tried to set up the Post Kinds bookmarklet from Chris Aldrich’s great overview post on this topic. I decided to use the Brave web browser on my laptop, and it worked just fine, I then tried to set up Sync on the laptop with Brave on my phone. The steps on the instructions appeared to work, but syncing only seemed to work from mobile to laptop. I found a long support post about problems with Brave Sync, so decided to try something else (I may still try to create the bookmarklet on my phone at some point).
In the Chris Aldrich post, he referred to a helper app called URL Forwarder (for Android). I installed that and followed the setup from Chris’s post for creating a bookmark post with PostKinds, and that worked! I was able to share a URL with the app, which then brought up a new tab to post that bookmark on my WordPress site. Nice! Now I can clear all those open tabs on my mobile browser and not lose the links…
Trying out bookmarklets to post to WordPress
I have been interested in using bookmarklets to post to my WordPress site. This Chris Aldrich article interested me enough that I was willing to do something about it. First, I had to figure out what was the correct “Press This” plugin from WordPress (it is here) and install that. Next, I decided to also install the Indieweb Press This plugin (found here). After installing both of those, I went to the Tools menu from my WordPress dashboard, then selected the Available Tools menu. I then saw entries for PressThis and IndieWeb Press This.
I then dragged the Press This bookmarklet into my browser bookmarks bar and was able to create this post.
Next, I used the bookmarklet from the Chris Aldrich article above. I edited the example bookmarklet code to replace example.com with my website name, then dragged his sample bookmarklet to the browser bookmarks bar, then edited the bookmark and pasted my modified code, then was able to create this post.
Next steps – try to get this working on mobile!
