Today was day 2 of my WordPress only #indieweb experiment. So far I am leaning away from WordPress and back to a different platform for microblogging

  • WordPress is too slow for status updates. I need to try a MicroPub solution but I couldn’t get OmniBear or Indigenous to work. I could never participate in Twitter chats and try to syndicate notes from WordPress
  • JetPack syndication is really just a link to your post. I can publish to Twitter with Bridgy. I will lean on that and post natively to LinkedIn when needed.
  • I don’t like the gravatar image sent with Bridgy.
  • I like the LinkedIn option of Bridgy I had with Known.
  • Huge thank you to the army of volunteers who make all of this possible.

What did I do:

  • Added a plug-in to exclude all uncategorized posts from my post page.
  • Copied the post-kind  menu from Chris Aldrich’s source code and added a bit of CSS.
  • Removed blank thumbnails from post in the Customizer (after trying to write CSS to do it for me for about an hour).
  • Not too bad really
