Last year I thought it would be fun to outline how people might use their #WordPress websites to actively participate in #PressEdConf20 by posting content on their WordPress website and syndicating copies to Twitter for those following that way.

My general thought was:
The only thing better than A WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research Conference on Twitter would be A WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research Conference using WordPress itself!
#PressEdConf20

So let’s give it a spin by providing an outline for how to accomplish it in true #IndieWeb & #DoOO fashion? Perhaps a few people might trying doing this year’s conference this way? Here’s an early #PressEdConf20 presentation to get the juices flowing.

First, we’ll start off by making the humble presumption that you’ve got your own domain and an install of WordPress running on it. Hopefully this covers most #PressEdConf20 attendees.

Next we'll want the Webmention Plugin (+Semantic Linkbacks) which will let our site communicate with other websites as well as to receive replies and reactions on Twitter with the help of Brid.gy. Install and activate both. #PressEdConf20

One could manually syndicate content from WordPress to Twitter, but there are multiple plugins and ways to syndicate it. My favorite is the Syndication Links plugin, which we can use for syndicating to other services. Install and activate. #PressEdConf20
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
Next we'll want an account on Brid.gy for Twitter. This will allow us to publish from our website to Twitter; it will also allow us to reverse syndicate reactions  from #PressEdConf20 on Twitter back to our posts using Webmention.
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
Authenticate your website and Twitter account with Bridgy and enable Bridgy publish on your account page: brid.gy/twitter/userna…. #PressedConf20
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
In Syndication Links settings
* Enable Syndication to Other Sites
* Enable Twitter via Bridgy
Add a custom provider:
* name: XYZ pressEdconf20
* UID: XYZ-pressEdconf20
* target URL: indieweb.xyz/en/pressEdconf…
Save the settings.

Now write all of your posts in your presentation as status updates (without titles) and include any media (photos, videos, etc.) making sure to mark up the photos with a class of u-photo in the HTML. Don't forget the hashtag #PressEdConf20.

Set posts for one every minute. Use the SL Syndicate To meta box to syndicate your Twitter account and to the indieweb.xyz sub where everyone can find them (if they're not following the proceedings via Twitter). #PressEdConf20
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
Others at #PressEdConf20 with Webmentions can reply to your posts on their sites. Replies will show up in comments depending on settings. Bridgy will also find responses to your content on Twitter & syndicate those back to your website automatically.
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
Those who are paying attention at #PressEdConf20 will see the value in webmention for allowing cross-site interactions without the need for "social media". WithKnown, Drupal, Grav, and other CMSes are capable of doing this too.
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
With luck, I'll have created this entire #PressEdConf20 presentation on my own website and syndicated it to Twitter without actually needing to visit Twitter itself. I'm around for questions. Thank you for your time and attention. [more...]
boffosocko.com/2020/03/19/557…
P.S. There's still some time to submit your talk for #PressEdConf20. Since it's all designed to be online from the start, I'm hoping it won't be cancelled like all the other events lately.

Fun medical billing story: I'm on a couple long-term meds -- anti-depressant and a blood pressure med --that I get 90 day scripts for. Starting this year, my local pharmacy was for some reason only able to fill 30 days at a time, which was weird (1/x)
Then, my insurance told them two things: A) that they would not cover any more 30 day prescriptions and B) that they would also not cover 90 day scripts at that pharmacy. They then simultaneously sent me a bizarre letter saying "it's time to make a choice"
Long story short, my insurer abruptly changed its rules so that 90 day scripts would only be filled at a CVS or via mail order. The closest CVS to me is an hour away.

Last year, we shared sad and often traumatic stories of pregnant people taking arduous journies or obtaining illegal pills online in order to secure the termination they so desperately needed. This story is a little different. This is what your Yes did for one woman this year...
...”Last year I went to the booth, and without a second thought I ticked the Yes box. Never for one moment did I ever think that I would need that Yes myself...
I'm in my 40s with 3 very difficult pregnancies behind me and 2 children, one with disabilities. When our contraception failed and I discovered early in the new year that I was pregnant a black cloud fell over me...

“No country presents a broader, more severe threat to our ideas, our innovation, and our economic security than #China,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement.

“If we can open up China and make it fair, for the first time ever — this should have done years ago by other presidents but it wasn’t — I am very much willing to do it. But China very much wants to make a deal,” he said.

“There’s no mass movement, there’s no huge thing. We’re not on the cusp of a deal,” Kudlow told CNBC. He added that the administration had not seen any new offer from #China.

Last year Nazis killed a woman with a car and then people spent the next 365 days writing editorials asking if we’re too mean to them
The best responses to this tweet are the people going “um actually it’s very unfair to say the murderer who wrote pro-Nazi essays and attended the pro-Nazi rally organized by Nazis is a Nazi.”
Guys, I don’t think we’re going to make it.

I think we will look back at 2017 and see it as the year the #WordPress project started to fracture. As much as the community desperately wants to see WordPress as an enterprise CMS, projects like #Gutenberg show it is anything but.
Gutenberg is a phenomenal piece of software and everyone involved in it should be proud of what they have achieved. But we also shouldn't be afraid to call it what it is. It's a move toward WordPress being a site builder.
It's a shift away from fellow PHP-based CMSs like @CraftCMS, #EE, @statamic, @getgrav, @grabaperch, @drupal and the countless other custom-field based CMSs out there. It's a move away from one of the key features of a real enterprise ready CMS. Native structured content.
