Blog Engines and Indieweb Controlling Upstream
All this Wordpress 5.0 Gutenberg stuff got me thinking.  With Wordpress it seems like the Indieweb starts making serious and cool progress and the Wordpress people come along and knock the game board and pieces off the table.  And it sounds like the disruption from Wordpress is going to continue for a couple of years.

Why not take a page out of Apple's playbook and take control higher up in the food chain? Why not come out with an Indieweb com

The Weeklyish Summary Indieseek.xyz – 12 December 2018
It's been slow here at the directory. Real World and holiday fuss has been getting in the way of my schedule.  But the good news is that directory listings have a fairly good shelf life so they won't spoil.
Wordpress 5.0 and Gutenberg
The blog part of this site is powered by Wordpress and the recent update to Wordpress 5.0 has forced plugin developers to push out a rash of updates to their plugins. Despite that some things are broken h

My Gutenberg Migration Planning
I have several blogs: 1 x Micro.blog hosted blog plus 2 x Wordpress blogs.  After the Holidays, I'll probably migrate my main WP blog (you are here) to some other blogging platform.  No matter what I do I will lose my Indieweb features on that blog.  But that said, I forsee it becoming increasingly hard…[...]

For Micro Monday I want to recommend @jgmac1106 who never sits still. Ever. And @c another person with a crazy busy schedule. Both are worthy ambassadors for the Indieweb movement and very helpful people.

Oh great. One of my smoke detectors is chirping. Either it needs a new battery, is malfunctioning or has come to end of life. I swear these things are as needy as Adobe Reader.
