Join us in the IndieWeb chat and in our Zoom room for Black Friday counterprogramming. Create don't consume. Be thankful for the web and go make a web page!

Share ideas, create & improve our personal websites, and build upon each other's creations. Whether you’re a creator, writer, blogger, coder, designer, or just someone who wants to improve their presence on the web, all skill and experience levels welcome. Breakout rooms may include quiet writing or Micropub implementations - anything folks might want to collaborate on.

Most of our events are oriented to Western Europe or the Americas so expect the Zoom to be open in the morning in those time zones. Depending on the RSVPs we may start earlier than the published time. Expect the Zoom to go into the late afternoon in the US Pacific Time Zone (UTC−08:00).

To RSVP send a webmention RSVP, or you can log into the events site with supported providers which point at each other using rel="me". Bluesky, GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg accounts cross-linked work as of now, as well as email.

Stay and create for a while, or the whole day, or pop in and out -- it ought to be a friendly creative day!

Text-based chatting will be done in the Indieweb chat. Feel free to join us there to get realtime updates and conversation during the event. Click here to learn the options. You can ask questions about this or any IndieWeb event in that chat.

    For today’s IndieWeb Create Day, I finally updated the layout on my article permalinks. Several years ago, I started updating non-homepage pages to use a streamlined template with a smaller header logo and navigation links beside it. I kept putting off the article permalinks because a lot of messy, custom code piled up in it over the years. The end visual result is not a huge difference, but it will make maintenance a lot easier going forward.

    I improved some of the layout in the article footer while I was at it. I moved my author card to the very bottom of the page, instead of putting it between the article footer and responses. That let me remove the links to jump to the response, which was kind of a weird experience before. I also set the metadata (published date, tags, syndication links) to be right-aligned, matching the layout on the rest of my posts.

    Here is what it looks like now:
