Molly White is doing something on her blog that I don’t think I’ve seen before. When linking some people’s names, she will include tiny links to Wikipedia or social web profiles. Here’s a screenshot with the links highlighted, in this case Wikipedia, Mastodon, and Bluesky:

@manton Whoa. I like this a lot.

Nicolas Ward

I had a linguistics professor in college who I remember gave a lecture on how these name markers were used on LiveJournal. I wonder if he’s looked at it more recently.

@manton I like that. Wonder if that’s all manual?

@manton Molly is an awesome Geek!

She’s just the best.

Also that looks crazy cool.

What is her publishing stack?

Lots of resonance with @scripting.com’s work.

Keith Walbolt

I first saw this in Gwern’s site. Lots of interesting ideas there.

I think I like it? It’s easily understood and used but takes up little space and is easy to ignore if the reader prefers.

Writing Slowly

micro.blog is already in Font Awesome, but how do we get Font Awesome in micro.blog?

@writingslowly There’s a Font Awesome plug-in for Micro.blog. Unfortunately not really any documentation, but it adds the Font Awesome files so you can use it in templates and blog posts.
