@bradenslen Thanks Brad, very interesting comment. I will explore adding more IndieWeb features to IDM. The main reason I haven't so far is the Indieweb plugins on WP have messed up other parts of my sites before (design template, some slowness). But I will test them once again. Cheers.

@pauljacobson yikes. I’ve run across tech issues with indieweb plugins too, but they’re usually quick to fix them.

@ablaze Thanks Jon, much appreciated. Those were the days indeed. I certainly miss the community of the RWW crew, as well as the thrill of the very early blogging days.

@pauljacobson I'm using a couple of plugins. Firstly 'Micro.blog Importer' by @michal, to automatically import my MB into WP. Secondly I'm using the 'Ultimate Category Excluder' plugin to exclude the MB content from my blogs page and main feed.

@JohnPhilpin Thanks John, I like how you integrated it. I don't think my micro.blog sidebar widget really fits yet, so will take it out while I work it out.
