I think I’ve got micro.blog integration set up from my site now. Let me know via a reply if anyone sees this…! mattgemmell.scot

@mattgemmell Woo-hoo! I see you on the Micro.blog timeline, Matt.

@mattgemmell so great so see you here! Love your work 👍🏻

@mattgemmell I can see it! 🙂

@hutaffe Thank you so much! 💜

@jean Excellent. Do you happen to have examples anywhere of RSS feeds for short and long posts respectively? I'd like to check mine against them.

@mattgemmell So happy to see you here Matt. Welcome to Micro.blog!

@mattgemmell welcome!

@pimoore Thank you!

@mattgemmell Welcome!

@jacob Anything that facilitates procrastination from writing is a disadvantage! 😅

@patrickrhone Reassured to see such people of quality here! 🥸

@paulmccafferty 👋

@mattgemmell Welcome. I used to follow your blog back in the day from before you made the switch to a full-time novelist.

@pratik Nice to see you here!

@mattgemmell ah lovely to see you here! What do you use to post to /microblog/ on your site & how did you set this up? I'd love to do the same.

@alpower Hi again, thank you, and likewise I'm sure!

My site is a statically-generated Jekyll site. I just set up a Jekyll "collection" for microblog posts — I also have collections for regular posts, my weekly mini-stories, and my books — and created an RSS feed just for that collection. That was it, notwithstanding making a basic template for my microblog index and individual post pages.

The micro.blog account page lets you add external RSS or JSON feeds as sources for posts, which I did. It also lets you configure crossposting to Mastodon etc. I do my replying and following on the micro.blog site itself; my own site is just a place to publish (and syndicate, via the RSS feed) my microblog posts.

@mattgemmell perfect - I thought it might be something like that. I use Eleventy (similar) so might well set something like this up. Thanks for the info!
