As 2018 draws to a close I am saying goodbye to WordPress. In order to accomplish this I decided to archive my blog rather than worry about importing eleven years worth of content. Previously in this series I described how to set up a subdomain and add a redirect plugin for internal links on your WordPress site. But what about the links on the web? How do yo
Greg McVerryIn reply to . The type of redirect you write is dependant on both yoru goals and your url structures. I set my site to redirect whenever a file is not found on my website: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jgregorymcverry.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://archive.jgregorymcve
Greg McVerryGot up a few hours early this Christmas to buil a plugin for Read Posts plugin for Known. Here is a example post: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/12/25/flow-the-psychology-of-optimal-experience-1 Here is the repo if you want to add the plugin to your Known site: https://github.com/jgmac1106/Known-Read To add to your site simply clone this repo
Greg McVerrySo I need https://jgregorymcverry.com/how-to-add-read-post-types-to-known/ to go https://archive.jgregorymcverry.com/how-to-add-read-post-types-to-known/ the text string as url title is making the creation of redirects difficult how ever the backwards slash at the end gives me hope as webpages on my new site still end in .html. I tried this: RewriteEngine On
Greg McVerryThanks to some revisions from Marcus Povey and a strong basis to work from using the plugins created by Jonathan Leclor I pushed an update to the Known Listen plugin I wanted to release. Download this plugin. Then go to your directory with the IdnoPlugins folder Open the folder Create a new folder named "Listen". Case sensitive so be careful. Then copy every
Greg McVerryThis is the first in a two-post series on archiving a WordPress blog. In this post I cover setting up a subdomain and moving your WordPress site. In the second post I describe how to write redirect to point to the archive. Goodbye WordPress As I say goodbye to WordPress the migration of old posts to a new site seemed daunting. Until I realized the task did n
Greg McVerryI just added Jaimie Tanna to my following page at Following #BeYourownSocialNetwork
Greg McVerryI wanted just a couple of static pages, but ended up with a fully functional blog on @glitch When Tantek posted about the #newwwyear challenge I knew I wanted in. I had just launched a 100 day #IndieWeb challenge to move my site from WordPress. I wanted to simplify. I am also trying to learn CSS Grid. I wanted to grow The #newwwyear challenge provided me an
Greg McVerryI added microformats and fixed some language. I often drive my students to tell stories with visual metaphors but do not focus enough on designing slides for instruction. Since the goal is learning every element of an image must revolve around telling the story of why does this matter to me. After that comes a logical progression of information and visual cl
Greg McVerryExcited for Homebrew Website Club-New Haven to start back up next semester getting a ton of interest from alumni. Here is one great note I received: You may not remember me but I was in EDU 106 ( https://thimbleprojects.org/renc72094/126691/) . I hope this message finds you well! EDU 106 was one of my favorite classes and has actually aided in my pursuit of
Greg McVerrySo we have had many discussions these past few days on a variety of IndieWeb channels about collections . Think about photo galleries, SoundCloud playlists, Youtube playlists, Pinterest pages. All collections. There is no right way to markup a collection. I often say with #IndieWeb we journey on a path of plurality to a destination of best practice. Normal p
Greg McVerryAn ode to Thimble and a look to the future
Greg McVerryWhen I decided to dedicate my open source time (I try to do donate 20% of my work week and will only publish open access research) to the #IndieWeb movement I thought my vision of how classes could work on the IndieWeb sat far off in the future. Well beyond my meager skills I though way back in May. No more. I am getting close. So I removed the "Pie in the S

Greg McVerryAs I show people the simplicity of a webmention badging system they often look to feature parity with the #OpenBadges 2.0 spec. We begin with a discussion of credibility and authenticity and usually, folks realize that webmention badges create a chain of trust that boils down to two permalinks. When you stamp something with your URL you stamp it with your na
Greg McVerryI have made progress on webmention badges. In fact we can now issue webmention badges from https://indieweb.org the #IndieWeb wiki directly to someone's Badge page like mine https://jgregorymcverry.com/badges How cool is that? Imagine a fandom wiki where you can develop a set of badges for a contributor and as soon as you make the wikipage the badge shows up
Greg McVerryNow that phase one of Gutenberg has dropped the interest in #ClassicPress grows by the day. So many WordPress developers fear the loss of control they will face under the new regime of 5.0. Many just don't want to do the work of all that refactoring. #IndieWeb and #ClassicPress should join forces. The #IndieWeb WordPress community has discussed the inclusion
Greg McVerryWhat's Been built: Collection of Resources I built a collection of all my IndieWeb Learning Network stuff here on Glitch . People are starting to remix the tools. That is cool. Higher Ed spends stupid money on LMS and learning shoulkdn;t be managed in the first place. It should network. Webmention Badges Also getting closer on the badges. I have figured out
Greg McVerryMany educators caught the podcast bug. In fact, edtechtalk, launched in 2006, is probably one of the oldest continuous podcast networks around. We know the power of broadcasting truth, reflecting on knowledge, questioning power, and having fun with media. Kind of our job as teachers Yet hosting a podcast and getting it registered may seem overwhelming. I wan
