Bookmarked SIFTing Through The Outbreak (siftingthroughtheoutbreak.wordpress.com)
Learning to sort through online information on the current COVID-19 outbreak – an excellent resource from Mike Caufield on evaluating news online.

Interesting  news reading workflow from Frank McPherson:

@brentsimmons I use River5 and when I find something I want to read I send it to Radio3 to add it to an RSS feed that is monitored by IFTTT to add to Instapaper. Basically it’s my replacement for Radio Userland. I am nervous about being dependent on Dave to keep Radio3 running.

Read IndieWeb Plugins and WordPress 101
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…
