@colinwalker it isn’t exactly (*) ‘fact checking’ - more crowd-sourced engagement and commentary ... this is an interesting site

(*) when I say ‘isn’t exactly' - I mean not at all, in any way …

@JohnPhilpin I don’t necessarily agree with all his suggestions but the premise is sound. If the ideas were extended to include built in references to the likes of snopes.com and others we could be on to something.

@colinwalker WARNING ... conversation fork .... colinwalker.blog is that a ‘roll your own’ kinda site .. or what - spotting the automatic web mentions …

@JohnPhilpin It’s WordPress with a couple of indieweb plugins and a very highly customised them.

@colinwalker do you post to wordpress as your prime space - i see you did some host shifting … i am currently posting to micro.blog and then was going to duplicate content to a Wordpress space .... should I just put everything on wordpress first ?

@JohnPhilpin Entirely up to you. Everything I do is on my blog first, it makes sense as it’s been there since 2008, but it’s always personal preference. At least with an m.b hosted blog you can always export your posts and move them should you want to.

@JohnPhilpin Just noticed it mistakenly says reverse chronological order when it’s actually chronological. Will fix that.

@JohnPhilpin Also updated it to mention the “On this day...” section on the /Today page.
