I can now create pages in WordPress using my personal Micropub client. This makes it possible for me to publish notes from my personal knowledge management system to my WordPress site as pages in the Digital Garden I keep there. Like this one as proof of concept.
In the past weeks I created a way to publish directly from my notes to my blog using Micropub. I also added a selector to choose to which site I want to publish to.
Now there’s an added option to create a page, and not just posts.
Until now I created those pages manually whenever I thought to document something publicly. The result of that is that creating a page involves a certain friction, and the number of pages has stayed very low as a result. I hope this step may make my pages section more useful in sharing documentation about e.g. concepts I find important or things I created.
Combined with the site selector this also means I can now easily add pages to my professional site, my company’s site and e.g. the IndieWebCamp.nl site.
This was a pretty regular week, which was good to have and be able to get a few things done. I did feel tired a lot though. From next week most pandemic measures will be abolished, and we’ll see how that changes the equilibrium of our rhythms again.
This week I:
had a follow-up meeting with my business partners about a few points we didn’t get to in last weeks conversation.
did some more monthly invoicing
had the weekly client meetings
had a session with two European Commission directorates about digital twins, comparing each other’s work and plans in these areas. Also prepared the meeting notes and circulated those later in the week, as well as having a follow-up conversation.
welcomed a new colleague in a client team
spent a day at a client’s office
caught up with the director of the NGO I chair and planned a meeting for next week.
did a session with the CIO office of a ministry about the coming EU data legislation
joined a working session of national INSPIRE representatives, from France, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands, to discuss the EU data legislation’s impact and the DEP calls to prepare some of the sectoral data spaces envisioned.
had an evening meet-up of the Dutch Creative Commons association to go through the new government agreement w.r.t. aspects of openness, such as open culture, open education, and open science.
decided to join a trip to Montenegro in June with my old fraternity
turned the coming new legal instruments for data sharing in to a list of questions to ask of a number of experimental projects in the Netherlands to explore what current data sharing or usage issues they encounter, and whether the newly created instruments would be useful for them. Not just to make things easier per se, but also to ensure responsible data governance and usage
extended my micropub client with some more options, being able to choose more sites to post to, and to post pages not just blogposts.
did some gardening, pruning some shrubs
participated in the IndieWeb pop-up session about personal libraries.
In reply to Publish Obsidian Documents to WordPress by Curtis McHale
I didn’t come across this posting at the time. As you say, having to log in every single time as well as having to send it already formatted raw HTML (and not the markdown one writes in in Obsidian), are drawbacks. XMLRPC is blocked by my hoster (part of their security decisions), and I have disabled it within WP therefore. I went with Micropub to publish from Obsidian to WordPress, around the same time as this posting. As notes in Obsidian are plain text files in the local filesystem, I run a local script outside Obsidian periodically checking for files marked for publishing. Using Micropub it can post such files, while turning markdown into html, to several of my WP-run sites, both as post and as a page. The latter allows me to add them to my wiki-like section of my blog. Just posting at the moment though, not updating.
