Blog Credits

What I use to set up this blog, specifically.

Run on

Plugins:

ActivityPub, to connect to the Fediverse. It automatically posts to Mastodon (or whatever) and imports comments from there to the blog post.
Ad Inserter, which I use to automatically put the thing at the bottom of each post which explains how to comment/reply.
Akismet Anti-spam, which blocks spammers from leaving comments all day.
IndieWeb, which is basically an umbrella plugin for several other plugins:
- IndieAuth, which lets me use this domain to sign into other websites, basically.
- IndieBlocks, which has custom block types for indie web things (yet to be used).
- Micropub, which lets me publish to my site using Micropub clients (yet to be used).
- Syndication Links, which lets me link to my Dreamwidth crosspost of the journal and wherever else I crosspost something.
- Webmention, which lets people use webmentions if they want as a way to respond to a blog post.
JournalPress, which crossposts my blog posts to my Dreamwidth journal.
WP Super Cache, which makes a cached version of the blog to speed up loading times.

To remove the author block from the end of each post (I found it annoying):

.single-post .author-info {
  display: none;
}

I also tried to change the font, but it doesn’t seem to have stuck.
