Receive webmentions via form

We can enable visitors of our website to send us Webmentions even if their blogs don't support Webmentions. I'll explain how.

Comments - The salt in the soup

It always makes me happy when my desktop widget tells me there are new comments. Yes, I'm all for blog comments. Which isn't exactly common.

Blogstöckchen, Blogparaden, Trackbacks & Co. – Tradition oder Renaissance?

This time, Blog Weeks are focusing on the classics of the blogosphere: Blogstöckchen, blog parades, trackbacks, and the like. Are these traditions, or is there a renaissance?

Webmentions

Webmentions are these weird things that let you link to each other, and everyone is informed and can then display it, but technically it's all a bit complicated and... phew!

Microformats play an important role in the IndieWeb. They help all the tools that rely on data from websites to read and classify this data.

New Blog

Junited 2025

Bloggerrolle Kirby Plugin

Thomas has launched a nice new service, he calls it Bloggerrolle, and I just had to write a Kirby plugin for it.

Bloggerrolle

This Kirby plugin will ping bloggerrolle.de and/or uberblogr.de whenever you publish a page.

Hold on a moment! Just checked my calendar; yes, we are in the year 2025, not 2005. Nevertheless, this appointment was in my calendar today: Blogtastisch! 2. Blogs and the Fediverse.
