@ad81ad11 cheers!
I use the WebMentions plugin - https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-webmention/
And then Bridgy - https://brid.gy/ - to convert social media comments into WebMentions.

Note, there are some ethical considerations - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/12/the-ethics-of-syndicating-comments-using-webmentions/ 

 @210de87f amazing! Will it be available as an eBook do you know? 

 @8ef8e73f much obliged. Cheers. 

 @b214e325 OSK could work - if I could figure out how to launch it without a keyboard 

 @b214e325 My keyboard doesn't work - so I can't hit CTRL 🙂 

I'm using bash in Gnome Terminal. 

 @fd961dde seems reasonable, if annoying 

 @275a062e How on earth did you crush a cable? Would a regular USB have survived that level of stress? 

 @39b1b47f
That's the literal opposite problem to what I'm talking about. 

 @d8ea1543 does the app let you freeze your card? If so - do it now. 

 @9e5b31b6 already a big big fan https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/becky-chambers/ 

 @f68a96d2 I already know Darkwood https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/darkwood/

I didn't know about The Rooks. Ta! 

 @2d9a6032 I am a *long time* fan. I even went to the Fforde Festival several years ago.

Although, I think I still haven't read The Constant Rabbit - so I'll add that to the list.

 @3c57f7cb I don't think so. But I haven't received an email from them in a couple of years. 

 @fb644e50 that's not exactly what that says.
They can't be styled the way GDS wants. And they've tested their own components.  Which isn't the same as saying that the defaults fail accessibility.

Unless you know of a more in depth discussion?

But, anyway, I don't have a style-guide to follow on my blog. And I'm not convinced the existing WordPress solution is particularly accessible with its unannounced stars etc. 

 @49f821b2 That's gorgeous!

Also, hello fellow Terence! Shall we start a club? 

 There's a 4 year old bug about it here - https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/47595

Looks like it might be getting some traction recently! 

 @ad854657
If you read the above blog post I've tried to explain it clearly. 

 @f68a96d2 please do! 

 Grrrr! The default #WordPress comment form uses `novalidate` and there's no way to remove it.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/comment_form/

Do I really need to write my own form? WHY?!?!!?!? 

 @6b25ba57 haha! I've been using it for weeks. Just upgraded to v9 this morning 🙂 

 @90ee7ca1 it's also quite good for teaching.

If you don't *know* the intricacies of HTML, then it makes logical sense to write:

`<br></br>` just as you'd write `<p></p>`

or

`<img></img>` just as you'd write `<video></video>`

So showing `<br/>` and `<img/>` helps the learner understand that this element is self closing. 

 Well, at least it isn't an En Ef Fucking Tea. 

 @b214e325 No.

You can see who boosted your post. But you don't know whether they saw your original or whether they saw it boosted by someone else.

You can make an educated guess by looking at timestamps, but it is all a bit fuzzy (by design). 

 @ac1b55f2 enraging! Hope you can take them to the cleaners. 

 @98025892 perhaps this post isn't for you…? 

 @67792383 I should like to subscribe to this newsletter.

I'll take a look, ta! 

 @d8f13b5e
I can practically hear the theme tune! 

 @e0e3b1bd
THAT IS VERY COOL. I DIDN'T KNOW SHIFT LOCK WAS ALSO A THING! 

 @f77bbad5
Damn straight! 

 @37eba854
Ah, yeah, that is worse than I understood.
Thanks for the write up.

They're a bit chatty on the marketing side - but I can't fault their price. Excellent customer service. 

 @5f21e4a1
Good plan. The footnotes do appear at the bottom of the text, but I need to find a way to indicate then properly.
Wrist case scenario, every message comes with a link to the original post - so you can read it on the web of via RSS. 

 @99019452
If it is the same SC stuff that I went through, you promised that you weren't dual nationality and that if you became one you'd lose your SC.

Your SC was probably sponsored by a department. If you don't work for them any more, you don't have SC.

So, no, you don't need to undo it. 

 @5f21e4a1
Hi! Yes, footnotes are a bit tricky. Sadly, Mastodon doesn't support the superscript tag <sup> which limits how I can format them.
I will work on this at the weekend and see if I can find a way to fix it.
Thanks for reading 😃 

 @37eba854
That's certainly a bit odd.
But is it any different than just copy and pasting the messages between you?
Or have I misunderstood how this works? 

 @74cb851f i miss her so much oxoxoxoxox 

 @69c5f439 that was a really helpful video - thank you! 

 @37eba854 all I know is that I had 18 of those figures and I'm still annoyed I never got the rest 😂 

 @53093081 
Playing MIDI music.
Haptic vibrations (although they could send Morse code). 

 @91c10b93 but doesn't that strip the `required` attribute? 

 @b5820e93
@b884d87d 
"News From Gardenia" an excellent series and, IIRC, matches your description.
https://unbound.com/books/news-from-gardenia/ 

 Gearing up for #NaNoWriMo. 

I only have 4 more short-story ideas to think of!

Might spend some time messing around with an ePub workflow so I can easily release them as one big book at the end of November. 

 Right! The *only* `<div>`s I have on my front page are from #WordPress's widgets. There doesn't seem to be any way to change that.

Inside posts, my only `<div>`s and `<span>`s are wrappers for semantic microdata.

And I'm pretty sure all the pages on https://shkspr.mobi/blog are valid.

I loved the City https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/07/book-review-the-city-we-became-n-k-jemisin/

Will check out the others. Ta! 

 ⬆️ Taps the sign again ⬆️ 

 @306e8069 it doesn't. Certainly not on bash / Gnome terminal.

Sorry, I should have specified that.

Because blogs can have multiple authors.
