Post or posts may refer to:

IndieWeb posts

Individual items published on an indieweb site.

Kinds of Posts

Experience has shown that there are different kinds of posts on indieweb sites, and publishing and display interfaces for them vary by type. ActivityStreams has a similar concept of "object types". Here are a few kinds of posts that indieweb community members are currently publishing:

Pieces of a Post

At a minimum, indieweb posts should have:

  • permalink URL
  • contents of the post
  • date published of the post

and likely:

  • author of the post - even if it's self-evident from the domain.

and perhaps:

  • avatar of the author of the post

All marked up with h-entry+h-card naturally.

Additional pieces

Additional information about the post:

  • date updated
  • name - (AKA "title") of a post (articles typically have titles)
  • location - (AKA "geo") that the post is about, e.g. photos taken at a location, checkins. E.g. Instagram locations are "locations" that the photos are of, Wikipedia uses the geo microformat on pages to indicate location information about the subject of the page.
  • changes - ideally marked up with <ins> and <del>
  • from - location published/posted from, not necessarily the same as location that the post is about. E.g. Twitter locations are "published from" locations.
  • using - tool or application that was used to author / publish the post.

Footer sections

Footer sections. Posts sometimes have footers with links, references etc. Here are few known footer sections with a real world indieweb example in the wild of each.

  • Previously - links to previous posts by the author on the same or similar subjects. E.g. [1]
  • Elsewhere - a list of links to POSSE syndicated copies of the post on other services. E.g. [2]
  • Translations - links to translations of the post. E.g. [3]
  • Comments - a list of comments (in time sequence order) about or replying to the post. E.g. [4]
  • Referencing Articles - other discussions / articles spawned as a result of (after) the post, or other related reading that cites the post. A that reader already took the time to read it and have the post in mind as context, may want to read articles that build upon it. E.g.: [5].
  • ... have a different section in the footer of your posts? Add it here with a link to a real world example.

All marked up with h-cite+h-card naturally (except maybe the comments can be just h-entry+h-card).

Posting practices

IndieWeb community members' thoughts on some of the details of how they post and why:

Post design

There's many ways to style and display posts, on their own on permalink pages, as part of a stream (e.g. a home page or feed), and in a collection in an archive.

Here are some posts about post display design:

  • 2002-11-13 Zeldman on the Independent Web

    (Q.) How do you persuade people to fall in love? (A.) You don’t have to. The independent web takes care of itself because it fulfills basic human desires. The desire to connect. The desire to produce. The desire to enjoy content not mediated by corporations that can’t afford to produce anything less than a blockbuster. On the non-commercial web, an audience of 10,000 souls (or even a thousand) is meaningful.
