My Next #indieweb task

So I got my blogs (well the ones I use a lot) updated and running smoothly. I was looking for my next project and I have decided I am going to focus on streamlining my course workflow and also utilizing microformats when makring up my courses. Here's my problem.

Trying to Create Wordpress Filters

I have been playing a bit with indigineous as an #indieweb experiment. Corrently it is set to publish to my wordpress site.

Been trying different variations of this in functions.php function myfeed_request($qv) { if (isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($q

What exactly is #indieweb and how can we talk about it?

Across the numerous indieweb channels people have started to talk about how to discuss indieweb as the community and tools evolve into versions 2, 3, 4. Folks refer to these more as generations rather than traditional version conventions used in software development. The basic gist of the problem to me boiled down to mission, audience, and purpose. First and

Giving up the CMS would have to be #HigherEd first step into #IndieWeb

Most universities in #HigherEd have their general web strategy all wrong. The "canonical url" should be light weight. A predictable and accessible navigation with fewest pages possible that render HTML from databases that faculty populate (Yes classic garbage in, garbage out, but that is a supervision problem and not a technical one).

I admit it. I love it. Yes I have to deal with text. I don't truncate. I just use a character counter and use conciseness. Yes there turn into tiny

#Indieweb and Business

We had a discussion on the Indieweb chat that sparked a lot of thoughts. Rather than continuing to spam the channels I decided to share my thoughts here. I think overall an indieweb approach actually requires rethinking of ownership models and a co-op that includes a suite of tools and services. The REI of Micropubs. People then bring these tools to their co
