I’ve Joined the Indieweb Movement

Those of you following me on various networks may have noticed a flurry of different types of posts coming through. Taking a moment to explain this.

I recently learned about the Indieweb movement. Their philosophy is based on the idea that you publish on your own site and syndicate elsewhere. This matches up with the philosophy I currently have.

This site, david.shanske.com, has been here for a while, not doing much, and I’ve decided to try and adopt the Indieweb concept and use it as a place to distribute to all of the various social networks. I also want to get into sharing more, and am making an effort to add content/value.

I’m still working on the formatting a bit. So, there will be some changes to site appearance as I play with the site appearance and organization.

The site currently offers multiple different types of content:

  • Articles – longer form content
  • Notes – Notes are short content, and I’ve divided them into some types.
    • Status Updates – much like what you would expect on Facebook/Twitter
    • Photos/Images – Sharing photos
    • Links – sharing a link to a website/story

I am thinking about adding some more types as needed. The types are designed to have different display formats, which is why you would see some experimenting each time I post something, as I’m still trying to get it right. I do like to tinker and changes may come.

So, please pardon our appearance. Under Construction…permanently.

My day job is in training for an airline. I also develop Indieweb WordPress plugins so that others can take control of their online identity.
