(1/2) I bought a teeny tiny watercolor palette & filled it with 6 colors (CMYK + one extra color) from which I can create millions of colors! Here’s my palette in hand. You can read more on my latest blog post
To follow through on my pledge to do more of my #internet reading on the #indieweb, I've been visiting random blogs using this site and adding any interesting ones to an #RSS feed.
My intention is to browse this feed much the same way I would the news -call it a self-care practice. I want to spend more time in reflection and less in panic. I also want to get ideas for, perhaps, my own blog someday.
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?
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.
A blog post can be a plain text document uploaded to a server. It can be an image hosted on a social network. It can be a voice note shared with your friends.
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.
