jo - updating my dream diary page (gemini) and maybe adding a festive/winter style to my website- I have my h-card in the footer to be working - used https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-card/ and it's great - I made changes to my footer that blew away several of the bits of markup I had before
- I got distracted and tried PabloDraw - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PabloDraw - https://picoe.ca/products/pablodraw/ - which is more of a tool for Demoscene image creation but also can be used to create ASCII art
- First Second Third goal is to validate that the markup I have on individual posts for indieweb is correct... and I was able to use https://indiewebify.me/ to update the single post - canonical urls for my blog posts so that they show satisfactory data when run against indiewebify against it.
Troubleshooting CSS for sidenote positioning:

microformats and why to use them in posts:
- https://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2
- https://microformats.io
- General microformats parsing: https://php.microformats.io/
- Al, here is an example minimal h-card that parses name, URL, and photo: https://php.microformats.io/?id=20231124220849958
- gRegor Morrill here's a 2018 presentation I made and some resources on microformats: https://gregorlove.com/2018/11/recap-of-an-introduction-to-microformats/
Pablo's podcast feed
- https://lifeofpablo.com/podcast/page:podcast.xml
- https://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Flifeofpablo.com%2Fpodcast%2Fpage%3Apodcast.xml shows HTML, might be because of the colon in the URL?

gRegor Morrill Speaking of clothing, I learned recently about anti-paparazzi clothing that tricks the camera:
For Angelo Gladding The Made in Oakland - The guy who owns it was telling us about the underground Mario scene https://www.themade.org/ Also cool place to be
Pixel Planet Today if you like environmental posts https://www.pixelplanettoday.com/
For Angelo Gladding Modern browsers, when rendering a pixel art it does compression to lose the "pixelation - https://smorgasborg.artlung.com/image-upsizing-with-svg/ - https://github.com/meyerweb/flaming-shame/ is a tool to turn a pixel art GIF into a SVG that can be upsized without losing the pixel blockiness
