5 After setting a personal objective late last year of reaching [[https://indiewebify.me/send-webmentions/]['level 2' on the indieweb]], with the ability to send [[http://webmention.org/)][Webmentions]], I stumbled on [[https://bringback.blog/][Bring Back Blogging]] yesterday. I love how some people are dedicated to keeping a decentralised internet available and of relevance.
7 Over the past month, I created an [[http://git.vanrenterghem.biz/git.ikiwiki.info.git/blob/6c546c8f3182668c6d21d578b789674894f18c39:/IkiWiki/Plugin/opengraph2.pm][OpenGraph plugin for IkiWiki]] which allows to add customized [[http://ogp.me][Open Graph]] tags to posts on my blog. This in combination with standard IkiWiki blog support seems equivalent to an [[http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry][h-entry]], which was a level 1 feature.
9 I've also added an [[https://microformats.org/wiki/h-card][h-card]] to the [[https://www.vanrenterghem.biz/About/index.shtml][About]] section of this site, thereby completing the first part of the level 2 requirements.
11 Yet to do are the WebMentions. There were some [[https://ikiwiki.info/todo/pingback_support/][conversations about that on the IkiWiki discussion forum]] years ago, but no code was checked in to complete the feature. At its simplest, it appears to be a matter of including another site's blog post in yours and sending of a ping to the site to inform it about this. Having the ability to receive back seems quite a bit harder.
