Having sorted out my office, and fixed one of my broken NAS, I decided to to look at my website.
Moved it to a new theme, and started enabling it for IndieWeb yesterday.
Wow. Bit of a hill for an old retired guy!
Still, got some mentions working, started working on some syndications stuff, checked I have h-card enabled, and got IndieAuth working.
That got me onto the IndieWeb wiki, ooh, they use Slack, better get on that…
IndieAuth got me to github; yes, kept meaning to learn about that… which got me to GitHub Pages, to Jekyll via Ruby
Diverting via static pages to Hugo
Unfortunately, less than a day later I’m contemplating the old adage “one bite at a time“
So, any first pointers?
All suggestions gratefully received – I expect the occasional “Ooh, I wouldn’t start from there”!
Welcome to the independent web!
Having been doing it for many years now, my advice would be to start slow and take it one thing at time. Slow and steady will definitely help out a lot.
There’s also a lot out there that you can do, so tinker around a bit, read a bit, and ask yourself: what do I want my site to be able to do? Look at others’ sites: what do you like about them enough to want to build on your own site?
Maybe join us for an upcoming event too?
