And so it’s time to launch a new version of my personal website, https://barryfrost.com. Over the last few weeks I’ve been building this new platform from scratch with a few new key aims:
My last system #Baker offered a partial implementation of webmentions and syndications but was buggy and broken in places. My Microformats markup was also flaky. Hopefully this new attempt is a little more robust. Fuller details are in the colophon.
So kick the tyres, send this post a webmention from your site or respond on Twitter.
So, 12 years ago, I invented Pingback. Sorry. Pingback uses XMLRPC because that was the cool thing at the time and because I was young and foolish and had a peanut for a brain. Ian Hickson took my vague spec and kicked it in the arse to make it a proper spec, and it got adopted really quickly. Back then, when the world was young, everything got adopted really quickly; there was so much new ground to be broken that coming up with a reasonable way to do something (permalinks, RSS autodiscovery, pingbacks) meant that it got picked up by everybody.
