“”So a funny thing happened last night. I’m sitting around after dinner, before final lock-in, and I HAD MAIL.” “Oh? Get anything good? Dirty prison pen-pal letters?” “I got a book.” “Oooooh, noice.” “Yes, and let me tell you, IT’S FUCKING WITH ME.””
Shawshank is still reading House of Leaves.
“How’s the book?”
“I think I’ve read the first 150 pages about eight times now. I have notes in the margins, and pages folded down, and bookmarks reminding me to reread things. I’m going to need some translations at some point.”
“Are you enjoying it, though?”
“Immensely.”
At the rate he’s going, it’ll be at least a week before he’s finished with it. After that, I’d be willing to bet he rereads it immediately. And honestly, I can’t wait to see what his copy looks like when we finally see each other again.
The Prison Book Club continues reading House of Leaves, over and over and over. (chicky.blog/immensely/)
I’ve to admit I’m really curious about House of Leaves by now. Doing a lot of reading it never occurred to me to re-read passages or putting notes into a book at all. BTW I really like what you’re doing with your blog @crystal. Will you also enable backfeeds? You know I’m working on a POSSE provider for Okuna 😉
Thanks, I’m not 100% sure I’ll use all the features of all the things, so as to not flood the email of my 3 subscribers. Right now I’m still tweaking the shit out of things, but that’s been fun because it’s been a long-ass time since I’ve dug through PHP. I think I’ve got brid.gy working and doing webmentions and the like. I still need to contact my host to get them to adjust mod_security to allow Indieauth to work properly.
Huh, now this is weird. The comment mention is without “u-in-reply-to” and won’t display for me because it can’t be sorted. May be an issue with jetpack. I recall something about this making trouble but since I’m not using it myself I’m at a loss.
Doing some poking around bug reports, it looks like it’s an issue with Jetpack’s sharing options. Disabled it, no sense in doubling up on sharing plugins when brid.gy is there.
No dice 🙁 Let’s compare notes here. When I run https://php.microformats.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchicky.blog%2Fimmensely%2F%23comment-205 I only get cite children but when I run e.g. https://php.microformats.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finfullflow.net%2F2020%2F04%2Fsolved-the-problem-of-the-frozen-songs%2F%23comment-373 – where this works – I can see nodes of the type comment. I may be wrong but it’s probably only missing a “p-comment” on the “h-entry” / “h-cite” of your comment and it sails.
I found this brainstorming on how this is supposed to work: http://microformats.org/wiki/comment-brainstorming
Well, if I knew which part was screwing up – the theme or a plugin – I’d do more poking around in free time. Right now, I’m more annoyed that sharing to Twitter via brid.gy strips my featured image.
That should also not happen. Something is really messing with the microformats 🙁 Hard to tackle from the outside. Have an example link?
BTW: If you reply to e.g. Twitter make sure to click the “Twitter POSSE” option too (https://chicky.blog/like-why/)
This works only if your target understands Webmentions. Otherwise a blog may just get a Pingback and that’s all. And since it works without an API of any sort your template _must_ be able to render correct microformats into your HTML or your target has no chance of understanding what it is supposed to do.
Sorry for the frustration you’re probably experiencing by now. WordPress is a mess because so many plugins can influence each other in so many ways. If it’s not the template falling flat already it’s some plugin manipulating the same HTML elements.
