ISSN
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an identification number for periodicals that at least two IndieWeb community members have on their websites. ISSNs are controlled by the member countries of the ISSN International Centre.
How To
Most IndieWeb sites are ineligible for ISSN assignment. "Ongoing integrating resources" (such as part of a website) must meet specific criteria such as having a consistent URL, a clear publisher, and a consistent publication Title. Personal websites/online diaries, link-only sites, and company websites are specifically excluded though blogs that do not fall into those categories may be allowed.

Many independent web periodicals, including the one you’re reading, have long held an ISSN number (ours is 1534-0309). Once you obtain such a number, your publication officially exists in a standardized encyclopedia of periodicals maintained by the world’s librarians.
