Let’s see if this works!?

I’ve added the following link to this site’s baseof.html so that it is now rendered for each page:

<link
  href="https://us-central1-webmention.cloudfunctions.net/webmention"
  rel="webmention" />

I discovered indieweb yesterday reading about webmention. Who knows what got me to webmention!?

The principles of both are sound. Instead of relying on come-go behemoths to run our digital world, indieweb seeks to provide technologies that enable us to achieve things without them. webmention is a cross-walled-garden mechanism to perform an evolved form of pingbacks. If X references one of Y’s posts, X’s server notifies Y’s server during publication through a webmention service and, Y can then decide to add reference counts of copies of the referring link to their page. Clever.
