Been fiddling around with integrating micro.blog and WordPress (and Instagram, etc.). I’ve seen quite a few technical solutions (props to help section) but I’m curious as to what folk’s best practices are here? Anyone care to share how they’re doing it that works best? Thanks!
@solari best practice would be reading the micro.blog help files first; advice I should have followed. It helped me get a better understanding of what the service is and how it's more than just another Twitter or App.net
@solari I tried crossposting from my blog, but it felt pointless. micro.blog led me to read about POSSE and support for webmentions and micropub mean I can cross post/comment/like now from my blog and still have community engagement without lock-in
@solari One thing I wish I had done was thinking a little harder about what I might want before jumping right in; I thought some, but not enough. I need to write a longer post about where I am, what I wish I had done differently, and the problems I'm working on.
@smokey I get that. Sometimes you just have to jump right in to get a better view of things when you're up to your neck in it. I get a better idea of how things work and what I'd like to utilize after wading in. Can always clean up later. ; )
@grib Totally get that and it's exciting to see it in action on micro.blog! Sort of akin to watching a new ecosystem unfold before us within our own blogs. It's quite a unique feeling.
Testing reply again with additional tweaks. Forgive me for using your comments as a test-bed, @smokey : /
