@FreakyFwoof Yes happy birthday to Jake.

Sounds yummy.

@BorrisInABox OK I've downloaded the file how do you want me to send it to you. Do we still have a working Dropbox?

Hi Clare. The iOS update was fine. It's the watch one that's taking forever so I guess I'll be leaving it on the charger for much longer than I normally would.

OK thanks for the heads-up. I'll just leave it on the charger then.

@talon Narrator: Yes, yes they are still hoping we'll spend $2 on ringtones.

@cublanco @JustinMac84 Yeah you'd probably want to take that in chunks. Like, one movie, then the next and so on.

@JustinMac84 @Pawpower I've seen the extended editions but it's been a while.

The first was some cereal early in the morning, which totally didn't cut it, and then some French toast and hashbrowns which ended up being second breakfast.

See: https://www.indieweb.org. Start there and you'll find all kinds of stuff on the wiki, and of course you can feel free to join the chat, we're pretty friendly. Or I can help you. Whatever works best.

Some of the static site generators have add-ons/themes, which was why I was asking. I can give you WP stuff though if you want. the indieweb stuff is explicitly agnostic when it comes to what you build with. You can do it as simply as plain old semantic html or you can use something like WP, but if you use WP or similar what you're outputting needs to be plain old semantic HTML with microformats 2 for the best result/interoperability.

Which thingy are you using for your website? Because there are plugins/themes that support the various building blocks, but what specifically is available depends on what you're using.

Yes it would keep favorites as individual posts with the taxonomy of "like" which already exists on my site. Similar to how it keeps statuses as "note" and replies as "reply" and boosts as "repost".

@JustinMac84 I haven't done this year's reread yet but I've been rereading them yearly since I first read them in Junior High, which was a long time ago.

Na it's cool. Unlike on Twitter, you can hide people's boosts if they become a problem. I boost a lot on here too, because that's how you get things noticed since there's not a recommendation engine or anything like that it's all manual.

@Pawpower Love the original Hobbit/LOTR though, so yay hobbits.

So the short version of an answer to this is to use an RSS feed of whatever you use to track your reading, combined with something like IFTTT to create read posts. For example, I use Goodreads, which has an RSS feed for each shelf, and then IFTTT to send a web request to my micropub endpoint that creates a read post using the correct microformats 2.

This sounds like an excellent strategy and I think I'll adopt it myself.

I've spent the last several yearsw really paying attention to and feeding my personal site and I have zero regrets. Business site not so much and I know I need to work on that.

Thanks for these suggestions I will definitely pick one of them in lieu of the chaos caucus.
