@manton Is there a way to do custom fonts for microblogs yet?

@smith Yes, if you use a web font from Google Fonts or Adobe TypeKit, you can reference that font URL in the custom CSS on Micro.blog. I know a few people are doing that. Here's an example at the top of this CSS.

@smith You can use their web fonts www.typography.com/cloud/wel... and include them in your theme. Let me know if you’d like help with including them in your theme.

@manton sorry to jump in with an unrelated reply. Posts and DMs I make in the Micro.Blog app show up on my hosted WP site, but not in my timeline. Any idea what I’ve done wrong?

@markmcelroy Your host is blocking the RSS feed. Micro.blog is getting a 406 error from "mod security" when trying to download your posts. Maybe there's a way to disable that or white list it?

@manton Did find a place to whitelist i.p. addresses. Is 104.200.22.214 the address to use for Micro.Blog?

@manton Okay, my host has disabled Mod Security for the domain markmcelroy.com. But I'm seeing the same thing: posts from app show up on the WP site, but not on Micro.Blog. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

@markmcelroy Looks like everything is showing up to me now. (When a feed is blocked like that, Micro.blog will wait longer until it checks it again, so might have just taken a while for it to notice the changes.)

@manton Thanks again for all the help. I got everthing working on an old WordPress-based site, and then decided I liked how your hosted solutions looked (and how they formatted things for Twitter. So: signed up! I'm a convert! I'm a convert! :-)

@manton Does Micro.blog still crosspost to Facebook? I see controls for Instagram, Linked In, but not Facebook. Just curious. Thanks 🙏

@markmcelroy I had to temporary disable Facebook because they are shutting down part of their API. I'm re-working it now to support Facebook pages.
