Pro-Tip

I could not get OwnYourGram to work until I created an account on GitHub that pointed back to my Micro.Blog URL, then added that GitHub username to my account in the account settings on Micro.Blog.

After that it was like butter.

I’m not a developer, but okay…

@hjalm Unfortunately GitHub auth is really the only way to get OwnYourGram to work right now, so you did it correctly. We have plans to significantly improve this.

@manton I do like the idea behind the authorization scheme. It was the one thing left I had yet to try on the list of options that I had control over.

@manton Another option is to put an email address on your site, but I understand if that's not something you want to do. I'm looking forward to the real solution!

@manton Oops that other reply shouldn't have mentioned you, I was just replying to the thread!I'm happy to help this week for sure! In January at IndieWebCamp Baltimore I was able to help @dshanske with enough of it to get the WordPress plugin launched!

@manton And maybe my day 2 project will be to fix my whitespace bug 😂
