A couple extra things to mention on my announcement about Standard.site in Micro.blog. When you first publish a new long-form blog post, Micro.blog will create the site.standard.publication and site.standard.document records in AT Protocol. It then re-publishes your blog to update the <link> tags.

The <link> tags are in the Hugo template partials/microblog_head.html, which was just updated today. If you’ve customized this template for your blog, you’ll need to incorporate the new changes or delete your version so it falls back to Micro.blog’s default. The latest version is always on GitHub.

I wanted to roll this out quickly, and I’m still not sure on the timing of when Bluesky verifies publications (blogs) to include the new UI in the Bluesky timeline. I’m testing this live with my own blog. Expect a few tweaks here and there over the weekend.

I’ve updated Micro.blog with initial support for Standard.site, a set of lexicons for long-form blogging on the atmosphere. I’m a little late to the party. Thanks to Leaflet, Pckt, and others for leading the way here.

Micro.blog’s cross-posting to Bluesky will create Standard.site records for blog posts that have a title. Short microblog posts (including posts without a title that need to be truncated on Bluesky) will not use Standard.site yet. I expect we may tweak this behavior over time, or add a setting for more control.

Happy blogging!

Ok a bunch of friends have their own personal AI agent using OpenClaw or Hermes or whatever. Confession time: I don’t. I haven’t found I need one. I’m a heavy user of agents for coding, sure, and a few isolated tasks. I haven’t found I need one digging through my notes or se...
