Complain as we might about the corporate silos of Facebook and Twitter, they have helped break the monopoly of Google search. Before, if you didn’t rank well, for whatever reason, in Google your site, blog, whatever was pretty well dead.

Blogger @iamjeffperry suggested a community of indie bloggers. twitter.com/iamjeffpe… That sounds like a good idea. Cc. @c @manton
I’m trying to think about this from an #Indieweb perspective:
Said community should be Web based: not Slack, not chat, because we’re trying to build a better Web. On the Web others can lurk, read think about what is being discussed even if they don’t want to join in.
Sharing wants, needs of bloggers and micro bloggers not so much about code but things we’d like to see, problems, how to make it more simple to implement, etc.
How to actually set up said communtiy. What script would one use? I’m old school so I immediately think of forums like Simple Machines, but I can see where forums are not mobile friendly and harder to use. Maybe there are better CMS based systems?
Is the idea of an Indieweb (m)blogging community useful?
Okay @Jeep I leased a #Jeep in 2013. About 2 years into the lease I started getting phone calls selling extended warranty. I’m still getting them and I turned the Jeep in 2 years ago. Only 3 companies knew I had a Jeep 1. Jeep/Chrysler, 2. Chrysler Credit Corp., 3. Your dealer. Which one of you sold my name address and phone number to shill extended warranties to me? It’s one of you three. Let me make this clear: I didn’t buy the Jeep at the end of the lease because of those phone calls and I’ll never buy a Chrysler product again. You pooped in your own sandbox.

The more I think about it the more I think I should keep my pull-no-punches political posts on a Wordpress blog. That way I can better control when, where and how posts get syndicated out. Plus comments are conventional, righton the posting page.

I think my Bridgy brid.gy experiment is failing. Oh well, I’m not out anything. I’m guessing my MB theme does not support webmentions or I’ve done something wrong in connecting. Probably the later.

Why you need good site search on your blog
Site search on a blog: The more content, the more posts and comments, the more you need site search. Especially if you d...Site search on a blog: The more content, the more posts and comments, the more you need site search. Especially if you do not have subject categories or tag clouds.
There are two types of site search: 1. Internal and 2. External
Internal: Some blog platform/CMS software had their own built in site search. These can be a mixed bag for relevent results, but they provide coverage right away.
External: Like a site search box from Google, Bing or some other search engine, can be better for some blogs, especially very popular blogs. But if your blog is just starting out, it might take awhile, even months, for the search engine’s spider to index every page on your blog. And then the search engine may not recrawl very often to index new posts. This will change gradually, time, popularity, link backs and frequency of posting, post length all factor into how frequently a search engine re-spiders a blog. So on a blog just starting out there may be gaps.
New blogs might want to go with the Internal search option early on and add the external search later. If your blog platform does not provide Internal site search then add an external search box straight off. Do your best for your readers.
Google still appears to provide free site search. Duckduckgo also has site search. Yandex also offers a free site search option.
According to Amazon, I should be getting the new US version Nokia 6.1 (2018) phone on Monday. I’d have liked to have had it to play with over the weekend but at least I have a date certain rather than sometime, any day, next week range I had before.
