- Set up IFTTT for RSS -> http://webmention.app to send webmentions

Fin? Maybe? I count 4 different web-apps necessary *and* two different code markups needed to get this all working correctly.

Webmentions is a failed system.

Not sure I understand why this is "failed"?

I'm guessing you are using a static site generator. That's going to give you lots of problems trying to do anything dynamic, kind of by definition.

  Yep! wordpress.org/plugins/webmen… It's completely self-contained, no external services, and integrates with the native WordPress comments system.

  There's definitely room for someone to come in and build a better solution tailored to all the specific limitations of static sites! What you're seeing is the side effect of these solutions not having been built specifically with static sites in mind.

  Today's project is all about trying to install them and get them working so I can try and help move things forward and make easier.
