@willtmonroe You may have discovered this already, but since it went unanswered, you'll likely find more help in the IndieWeb WordPress chat, but quickly there are some plugins for WordPress listed at https://indieweb.org/Micro.blog. @daveymoloney's microblog status page is most likely done by his imputting his having a page and menu link that displays the WordPress Post Format type "status" posts. (Incidentally you already have that page on your site, you just need to put it in a menu somewhere: willtmonroe.com/type/stat...) I'd suspect that he took the RSS feed from that page and piped it into Micro.blog as well. Since you're using Post Kinds plugin, you can do something similar using a URL format like boffosocko.com/kind/note... or for porting to micro.blog using a similar feed URL like boffosocko.com/kind/note...feed/. You'd just need to put the names of the types you want to use/have in the list separated with commas. Let me know if you need more help!

@daveymoloney I like what you've done with your WP site using the Autonomie theme to implement IndieWeb principles. If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions for you that I couldn't quite figure out.

First, how are you able to selectively post from WP to Micro.blog? I know that Micro.blog allows a user to publish feeds from other sources. But you mentioned that you "some of what you post on your Microblog Statuses timeline" is also posted on Micro.blog. I'd love to know how you do that! As you know, Bridgy allows you to choose which posts to syndicate to sites like Twitter. But I've seen no way to accomplish the same thing with Micro.blog yet.

Second, how did you create the Microblog Statuses timeline using Autonomie? I know that Autonomie, Indepdendent Publisher and other Indieweb-friendly themes allow for "post kinds" show up on separate pages. But you seem to be combining several "kinds" on the Microblog Statuses page. I'd love to know how you did this.

My overall goal is to combine my "stream" page with my main website. But until now, I haven't seen a good way to accomplish the kind of control over my short-form posts that you have.

Thanks for such a great example!
