Sending my First Webmention

Written by Rickard Lindberg . (also on IndieNews)

I'm trying out the guide Sending your First Webmention from Scratch and following it step by step.

  1. Add link to guide

    • My post appeared as a reply

  2. Wrap post body in h-entry

    • My post was deleted from the replies. Is it because I omitted e-content? Yes, it was.

    • u-in-reply-to does not seem to be necessary

  3. Add h-card

    • The author doesn't show up. Am I missing u-author? Yes, I was.

  4. Add dt-published
