@johnjohnston You use SemPress for your blog, right? Have you encountered the problem that the theme adds titles to title-less posts and that those titles then F-s up the Micro.blog syndication?

Colin has tried the Micro.blog for Mac beta. – Blogging from the Mac – Social Thoughts
@MrHenko I just noticed that the webmention for this came through as anonymous. ? I’ll edit the name field on the comment but thought you might like to know your blog isn’t telling the indieweb who you are.
@colinwalker That’s strange. I use a WordPress site and the Webmentions plugin, so I don’t really know what might have gone wrong. Thanks for letting me know!
@MrHenko I see you have vcard in the footer, maybe add the h-card class to the same element.
@colinwalker Yeah, that might be it. I’ll look into it. The theme definitely needs some cleaning up. Maybe I should remove the link to app.net as well. :)
@MrHenko haha hmm maybe ?

@MrHenko Gaiman is my absolute favourite author. I first got into Sandman many years ago but then discovered his books and, I agree, he’s someone who lodged himself in your mind. I’d recommend Anansi Boys or American Gods next.
@colinwalker Thanks for the recommendations! I think a paperback of American Gods is already in my bookshelf, but I’ll have to check once I get home. And yeah, there really is something special about Gaiman and I think part of it, at least to me, is that he seems to be such a likeable, intelligent and nerdy guy.

18 oktober, 2017 11:03@MrHenko @johnjohnston One approach is to remove the post title from the RSS feed for specific categories. An alternative is automatically add a date as the title which m.b ignores.
MrHenko
18 oktober, 2017 11:10@colinwalker Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately those won’t quite do it for me. I use my main RSS feed to feed m.b to post titles and links for ”full” posts and I don’t like dates clogging up my post titles. I want title-less posts to be title-less, even inside of WP.
colinwalker
18 oktober, 2017 11:19@MrHenko You could use a variant of the date method to set a blank title within WordPress combined with the RSS option in case it then inserts something (in my experience it’s normally the post ID) – it’s frustrating that WordPress tries to put a title on everything.
MrHenko
18 oktober, 2017 11:20@colinwalker That’s a good idea! (In my experience WP has never been picky about titles. The problem has come up for me with various themes.)
colinwalker
18 oktober, 2017 11:23@MrHenko WP is fine to save and present stuff without titles but when it comes to linking or sharing it always wants to call it something which is understandable I suppose.
MrHenko
18 oktober, 2017 11:36@colinwalker I (temporarily) solved it by switching back to my old theme. When SemPress didn’t behave the way I wanted it to I tried a few others and P2 seemed great in everyway, but it had the same problem. My own, old theme hasn’t had this problem, so I hope it sill works.

18 oktober, 2017 13:54@MrHenko I like titles;) I remove in rss for micro. Add titles in if there are none. gist.github.com/troutcolo… might be a bit out of date.

18 oktober, 2017 18:10@johnjohnston Have you replaced the functions.php in SemPress with your custom script or how does it work?
johnjohnston
18 oktober, 2017 19:15@MrHenko I’ve got a child theme. So my functions.php is added on.
MrHenko
18 oktober, 2017 19:16@johnjohnston I see! I got to learn about how to set up a child theme someday. I’m sure it’s not hard, but I’ve just never gotten around to it.
johnjohnston
18 oktober, 2017 19:18@MrHenko they are good as any changes don’t get written over when theme is updated. I’ve used them a few times but alway need to read codex to do it again. codex.wordpress.org/Child_The…

18 oktober, 2017 19:19@johnjohnston I was literally, yes literally, about to click a link in google to that codex page when I got the notification from you! :)
