@vanessa FYI, if you want to generate a Micro.blog Mention from a post made on a non-hosted blog, you have to create the link yourself (fourth bullet).
(I wrote a little filter to automate it for WordPress.)
@smokey Yeah, I tend to forget that when I’m using the app I’m still not really posting from Microblog.
@vanessa That’s the beauty of the filter and part of why I wrote it; no matter where you post from, WordPress will then create the link automatically 🙂
@smokey Thanks. I’ll add that to my child theme next time I’m at the Macbook. 😁
paging @joejenett – useful for JGM web mentions ?
// @smokey
@JohnPhilpin I don’t think so. It pertains to Micro Blog mentions of a user name from a non-hosted blog which is different than the issue of JGM receiving webmentions. It’s indirectly helpful in the case of a post from JGM (or any un-hosted blog) which includes a Micro Blog’s username (like @joeshmoe) – in that case you have to link the user’s name to the user’s profile in order for it to appear as a clickable username on Micro Blog (which in effect is a type mention, but different from the ‘webmentions’ we’re working on). I’d hope @smokey would correct me if I’m mistaken on this.
@JohnPhilpin in short form: an @-mention is different than a Webmention
@joejenett indeedy – was thinking that it is a way to save JGM contributors dropping in the whole html if they want to @name someone
