Intentionally Positive - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2021/intentionally-positive/
(I picked up the term "intentionally positive" from the
IndieWeb
Code of Conduct which begins, "
IndieWeb
is an intentionally positive community", which I absolutely love and it's always stuck with me. I did some digging, and it was added by Tantek Çelik in February 2013.) Also view on: Twitter.

I really love these two quotes from Lillian Karabaic's great piece, The
Indie
Web
is the new Zines. They really underscore the importance of the
indie
web
(and ideas like it) to ensuring free speech and diverse opinions:
One step forward, two steps back - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2014/one-step-forward-two-steps-back/
Two steps back for the
IndieWeb
. One of the sacrifices I consciously made in migrating off of WordPress was giving up much of the
IndieWeb
functionality I had working such as sending and receiving webmentions. There are certainly folks in the
IndieWeb
community that have this working for Jekyll and other static
sites
, so it's certainly doable.
Google Domains - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2014/google-domains/
The very first step in getting started with the
IndieWeb
is to get a personal domain. It's the very foundation that the principles of the
IndieWeb
built upon - that you should own your data and control how it is accessed. Your domain is where you publish your content, provide contact information, and link to your other profiles and content ...
indie two-factor auth
willnorris.com/2012/indie-two-factor-auth/
Tantek had the additional idea of an
indieweb
solution where each deployment was slightly different in some way, making mass attacks far less practical since it would be unique per
site
. I don't know enough of the specifics of this problem space… mainly just thinking out loud. ...

Jailbreaking the Internet
willnorris.com/2013/jailbreaking-the-internet/
I'm really happy to see that Klint Finley's Wired article about IndieWebCamp, titled Meet the Hackers Who Want to Jailbreak the Internet, is now up. It's a great piece, you should definitely go read it. I've certainly never heard this described as "jailbreaking the Internet", but I guess I can go with that. :) I think Klint did a great job capturing the heart of what we're trying ...
IndieWebCamp is for creators - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2013/indiewebcamp-is-for-creators/
My favorite quote that I came up with, that will sadly not make it into my slides for WordCamp SF next week:. Coffee is for closers. IndieWebCamp is for creators.. My wife wasn't sure people would get the reference.

There's only a couple of hours left in IndieWebCamp SF 2014, and it's been a really productive weekend. IndieWebCamp SF 2014, by Aaron Parecki I mostly got Webmentions working last year, but my implementation wasn't good enough that it stuck… I ending up disabling things before too long. This year, the WordPress plugin is in much better shape, I'm using a much better WordPress theme ...

Last week, in a post talking about the

, I shared my concerns with Mike Elgan's "Blogs of August", in which he encourages individuals to blog exclusively on Google+ for the month of August. I'm happy that the conversation has continued over the last week in various places like Copyblogger and on Google+ itself.. In my post last week, I mentioned:

I'm looking forward to attending IndieWebCamp SF 2015 this year. I've missed the last couple of events for various reasons, and really want to get back into things. I'm thinking about maybe hacking on Camlistore a bit this year, perhaps doing some more work on documentation.

Keeping Up - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2014/keeping-up/
I've spent this week trying to keep up with all that's been happening in the
Indie
Web
the last few months. Inspired by Tantek's additions this week, I've now implemented fragmentions (), with similar styling to what Tantek is using.I spent my birthday writing a go webmention library and client, and this post is my first attempt at POSSEing using brid.gy.

A fun little personal logo Oct 27, 2023. Like many kids, I remember drawing out the letters of my name in interesting ways in the margin of my notebook or on random scrap paper. I always liked the symmetry of the W and M in "William", and how the two letters could continuously flow into one another. Tailscale at the Pinewood Derby May 5, 2023.

Supporting WebFinger with Static Files and Nginx - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2014/webfinger-with-static-files-nginx/
So, my final nginx configuration for supporting WebFinger is: My first location block is an exact match for the well-known WebFinger path. Within that block, I first enforce that only GET and HEAD requests are accepted, all others receive a 405 response. This isn't required by the spec, but seems like a good idea.
