Plugging away

Bummed out by the fact that Quill wasn’t enabling me to syndicate directly to Twitter, I followed up on some good advice from Daniel Gold: Back to basics, uninstall and reinstall plugins one by one. Shades of WordPress. So I did that, and here’s what I found:With IndieSyndicate configured (via silo.pub) I can posts to Twitter just fine, but Quill still does not see that as a Syndication target and Quill cannot post to my site.In retrospect, that’s obvious, because there is no endpoint at my site.So I enabled IndiePub and now Quill posts fine, but it still does not see any Syndication target.I probably just have to live with that. At least for now.Finally, re-enabled Brid.gy and everything looks good once again. Just for the record, here, I’ve decided that for now I do not need these plugins: Static pages, Firefox, Events, Custom JS, Custom CSS, Comics, Audio, API tester. That may change in time.

After a morning wrangling automating POSSE from my stream site, I quite understand why Colin Devroe is just turning it off. I too might abandon the effort. Maybe it doesn’t matter nearly as much for minor things like Twitter to originate everything on my own site. Everything larger than 140 characters originates with me anyway, and I can always syndicate that by hand. What’s nice is to be able to bring the reactions back here.
