Chris,
I was wondering if this could be done more generally. I managed to do something similar here for a category so that I could post with that category from micro.blog. Not sure if something similar could be done for post kinds I couldn’t figure it out.
Some nice Micro.Blog Photos grabbed using @smokey‘s AppleScript to create the post. Click through for credits.
Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)Closing off the 28 day blogging challenge, Kathleen Morris provides a list of strategies for maintaining momentum. On the flip side, Aaron Hogan provides a list of blogging rules that you do not have to follow. These include the idea that blogs need to look a certain way or be perfect. 10 Blogging R...
I feel more encouraged by the second list although there are some good ones in the first one too.
The idea of rules or the need to “maintain your blogging” seem staring to me.
Blog when it is fun or of value to you else don’t, works for me.
David Shanske (david.shanske.com)Every year, at the Indieweb Summit, we have the State of the Indieweb(it’s the year of the Reader, by the way). The head of the WordPress project gives his State of the Word. I even watched the Governor of my State give his State of the state. As I go through my 2018 Year in Review, I wanted to co...
Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)This sounds really promising Chris.
Hi Aaron,
My class dipped their toes in minetest recently: Christmas Challenge 1 – Minetest – Banton Biggies.
Setting up a local server was really simple. I managed to get the class having a little fun without really knowing much. These types of games are always a bit daunting for non-gamers like myself but the low entry barrier means I can tread carefully. I’d be interested to see what other schools are doing with minetest and the similarities and differences with minecraft.
Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)...I think that I would probably describe myself as a non-financial supporter?...
Aaron,
We have been here before but the phrase
non-financial supporter
clicked for me. Hopefully by being a good web citizen: bookmarking, sharing, commenting (if the author wishes replied), discussing, bug reporting, pull requesting supports folk who we value online?
A few weeks ago, I bought a Google Assistant-powered smart display and put it in our kitchen in place of the DAB radio.
Doug talks about he power of pulling out old photos. I like the on this day bit of my phone’s phones and the ability to find out what I was doing a year(or years) ago. I’ve been finding my On This Day page on this blog fascinating and would highly recommend anyone to try it out. I don’t suppose having it public is necessary as it will only be of interest to me.
Chris Aldrich (BoffoSocko)Replied to More thoughts about Micro.blog as an indie social network by Paul Jacobson (Paul Jacobson) Brad Enslen is doing some great work over at Micro.blog, spreading the word about this innovative service. He published a post titled “The Case for Moving Your Social Network to Micro.blog"
Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)Even better Bill is if we had such conversations from the comfort of our own backyard using bridgy and webmenbtions, rather than someone else’s playground?
An interesting Rabbit hole, Arron is replying to Something Weird is Happening on Twitter Right Now by
This is the problem micro.blog set out to solve. So far I think it has done so, I’ve had some very good conversations there. There are not likes and retweets on micro.blog. These are mentioned negatively on the thread Dean sparked. Micro.blog make it as easy to post and comment as twitter.
Someone on micro.blog mentioned the other day that blogging superstars joined but didn’t stick (or words to that effect). Lack of reposts and visible likes makes the platform a bit more democratic.
The only thing I miss on micro.blog is the communities that exists on twitter. If there was a micro.blog for educators that would be very interesting. I’ve some thoughts on how this could happen, but finding it slightly hard to make them into an intelligible post.
