My site doesn’t accept trackbacks or pingbacks so unless they send a webmention I won’t know.
Well there’s always that route too! 🙈 I’m going thru the colophon section of my favorite design indieweb blogs so I can
stealborrow ideas for that blog system project I told you about a few weeks ago. Big post about it later today, and I’d really appreciate it if you could give feedback, opinions and ideas– I like your concept of “blog as a life app”.(BTW, I’m testing posting replies to replies inline from my comments section on posts. I hope this works 🤞🏾)
