I've noticed a pattern in the blog posts that I write about these #100DaysOfIndieWeb updates, which is that I almost always include a photo in the article, most of the time embedded in the text. When I syndicate these articles to Twitter, I was previously only including the name of the post and the URL to the post, but I wanted to include the photo as well.Today I updated my syndication code to check for a "featured" photo when syndicating blog posts. It first checks for a "featured" property in the post's storage file. (So far I don't actually have any examples of storing it that way.) It then parses the post's HTML and checks if there is an image with the "u-featured" class. If so, it includes that image in the request to syndicate the post via silo.pub.Now my syndicated articles will include an image!

This was a tricky one, spawned from when sebsel failed to discover the Webmention endpoint for one of Zegnat's posts. In that case, the Webmention endpoint was a relative URL and sebsel was sending a Webmention to a URL that was also an HTTP redirect.The new test, webmention.rocks #23, instructs you to send a Webmention to a URL that is a redirect, and that page advertises a relative URL endpoint. You'll need to make sure that the URL you pass to your relative URL resolver is the final URL after following the redirect, rather than the one you start with.So give it a shot! Test if your relative URL resolution code works properly!
