Going through a lot of old blog post drafts (I somehow have over 20 now) and either updating them, combining some with other ones, or deleting them. It's a long but rewarding and worthwhile process.
I have been invited to be a #Flipboard resident expert advisor in a very large blogger group! I am delighted to share my knowledge. #blogging#publishing
Has anyone put any thought into how to protect your personal blog from the generative ai scrapers? I've already blocked openai in robots.txt, but it seems like more and more small #generativeAI providers are popping up who don't honor these requests?
Maybe a noise filters artists are using with invisible characters but then again how do I make sure Google bot can see my posts? I don't care about humans using my work but I take issue with machines
While attending IndieWebCamp in Brighton a few weeks ago, a bunch of us were talking about blogging. What is post? What should it contain? What's optional? Someone (probably Jeremy Keith said: A blog post doesn't need a title. In a literal sense, he was wrong. The HTML specification makes it clear that the <title> element […]
While attending IndieWebCamp in Brighton a few weeks ago, a bunch of us were talking about blogging. What is post? What should it contain? What's optional?
In a literal sense, he was wrong. The HTML specification makes it clear that the <title> element is mandatory. All documents have title.
But, in a practical sense, he was right. This blog post has an empty <h1> element - the document might be semantically invalid, it might reduce accessibility, but the post is still available.

Title, dates, comments, links, and text are all optional.
No one is policing this.
Go create something which doesn't fit properly with the rest of the world.
"I'll bet [Google] Reader looked bad on the balance sheet but the follow-on benefits of knowing who was reading and liking what posts and which blogs were influential were incalculable."
As I was doing a little more digging around for discussions of note-taking and games, I found a forum that was still online, and one of the posters mentioning they'd written on their blog about their habit of note-taking in games.
Despite the thread only being 13 years old, I expected the link to be dead. To my pleasant surprise?
Also in case anyone else happens upon this thread somewhen down the line, I've found where the person writing RVGFanatic is still around!
They've since switched their blogging over to Wordpress, which is a mild bummer (none of that classic web style, sadly), but cool to see they're still active!
Princess Peach Showtime! – Dazzling to a Standing Ovation
The moment it was announced, I was on board immediately, no questions asked, no hesitations, preordered in a heartbeat. That's right, that was 100% me the moment I saw the trailer for this game. Finally, after 10+ years since her last starring role, my favourite princess in the world of video games, Princess Peach, got her own game again! I loved…
I've always wanted an RSS feed of only the interesting stories, blog posts, and longreads that make it to the Hacker News front page. Thus, I am happy to announce that I've just made and released one: https://feedle.world/hacker-news
