Dear @withknown

I am my system administrator.

Any clue as to how much you did manage to import? That would be nice.

If I do try again, what are the chances of duplicates being created?

Thanks

Jeremy

For the sake of completeness, and as a necessary stage in my web plans, I am now going to attempt to extract my files from vaviblog.com and import them here.

We're both on the same version of , so it Should Just Work, right?

Why the indieweb

1 min read

Richard MacManus is indiewebifying his site, and [had this to say](https://richardmacmanus.com/2017/06/22/openness-rivers-indieweb/):

> I’ve found the IndieWeb tools to be tremendously helpful, and the community to be open and friendly. But I think my own goals are a little different. I’m less interested in the technologies themselves (like microformats and webmention) and more interested in how they’re being used in the wider Web community. Not dissimilar to my interests when I started ReadWriteWeb. But of course to do this, I need to stand on the shoulders of the developers who build the tools.

All of which sums up my own position exactly. I'd go slightly further. I'm not as interested in how the technologies are being used in the wider Web community as I am in putting them to use myself.

*p.s. A major drawback of Withknown's excellent engine is that it doesn't allow New Posts to be replies, and that means I can't use the MarkDown formatting.*

Can @withknown do threaded replies? Seems silly to have to reply to my own post too to keep context

Hey @withknown: can't seem to find RSVPs in 0.9.9. Can you give me a clue?

Another update, another "Micropub error" from micro.blog and the latest @WithKnown.

Jeremy Cherfas

Off to upgrade to the new @WithKnown release. I may be some time, although I expect not. Hoping for improved import/export to amalgamate my two sites.

Working my way through Chris Aldrich's guide to bringing Twitter @mentions home, and while the WP site is not responding, this site is. But, in the absence of a /mentions page, where on Earth are those backlinks going? And can I display them?

Jeremy Cherfas

@kevinmarks Interesting piece, although @Withknown didn't like @velartrill's URL

Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I've kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don't want to shut it down until makes it possible to export data from that version and import it to the master. Not that there's anything all that valuable there, but still ...
