The Emu Café Social is a social-publishing site powered by WordPress. Members will be able to use the site to post about what interests them and discuss their external projects. While the site is conducive to short-to-medium-length posts, it also accommodates longer-form writing. By advertising feeds and user profiles, it will be easy for visitors to follow individual writers or to follow the project as a whole. In general, members of the site can and will post about subjects of interest to them.

That means compiling a hefty tome to compress all these years of productive blogging into a single physical volume might be a bit more...
Replied to My site now supports webmentions by Michael Harley (michaelharley.net) Ok you guys, I did it. I finally have webmentions working on my website. It's something I've always wanted to do but it seemed too complicated with my setup. I use a static site generator (SSG), 11ty, to build my site. Blogger Michael...
