What's new on #BurgeonLab

I added this retro looking "noticeboard" section on the home page. I really like how it looks with retro vibes!

I'm using it as a place for any ongoing projects or messages I want to keep up for a period of time. What do you think? Do you have a similar feature? How do you use it?

Currently have the tracker for #100DaysToOffload: burgeonlab.com/tags/100daystoo and my readership survey link: tally.so/r/44ag8b

Been only publishing weeknotes lately; but the wait is over, new tech guide is out! 👩🏻‍💻 It's about how I am using #termux on #android with #hugo.

This is #6 of #100DaysToOffload. See my progress: burgeonlab.com/tags/100daystoo

I've decided to take up #100DaysToOffload this year! Made a little progress tracker too with the HTML 'progress' element.

🤞 Hope I can make it. It's a big challenge for me, since my most posts/yr on record is only 37. Thanks @kev for creating this and @joel for being my inspiration to start this challenge!

New glowing theme switcher button at the top nav bar! (It was previously in the footer.)

And the icon changes depending on which theme you're on. CSS only :)

No new posts on my blog since 2026 began... because I've been adding new features on my Hugo site instead!

I have 5 new pages:
- All (aka Firehose feed)
- Sitemap
- Stats
and 2 IndieWeb pages:
- Notes (aka microblogs)
- Photos

A page I really enjoyed making was the Statistics page. I added a new line graph from #ECharts and used Hugo inbuilt calculations.

I want to wish everyone a safe, healthy, and successful 2026 🥳. Grateful for the chance to connect with cool and interesting folks on #Fosstodon, and more recently, the community on indieweb.org.

My blog burgeonlab.com has had a significant growth spurt in 2025 and I hope to continue my exploration with #Hugo, #IndieWeb + #Micropub integration, and posting more varied posts. If you read my blogs, thank you! 🥰

2026, let's go!

My gift for myself this holiday is diving into uncharted territory—figuring how to setup a #Micropub server for my #Hugo site. Think I'm ready to enter the next step of #Indieweb integration!

New discoveries: #NodeJS, Vercel/Render, #MongoDB, npm (I did use npx before).

I actually got the #Indiekit endpoints working—didn't think I could do it. 🤩 Now upgrading Hugo templates to accept the new Micropub content. Definitely gonna write this up!

Sneak peek 👀

#BurgeonLab #SmallWeb #blogs #blogger

Screenshot of the Indieweb Notes page on BurgeonLab.com, displays two test entries with metadata, tags, and links using microformats. The content explains Micropub note features, including "in-reply-to" and "like-of" parameters.Screenshot of the Indieweb Photos page on BurgeonLab.com, displays three test photos with location and date metadata. The content explains how the author wants to switch from using Instagram to owning their images via Indieweb practices and sharing photos using Micropub standards instead.Screenshot of the Indiekit server dashboard, with options to upload new files, create new content (articles, notes, photos, replies, likes, bookmarks), and a bookmarklet to quickly share a page.

New #blog on #BurgeonLab ✍️

➡️ burgeonlab.com/blog/find-orpha

Created a #python script to help find pages that are not linked to, from my own site (no internal links, aka orphan pages).

It was a fun little experiment. Happy it works.

New #blog on #BurgeonLab ✍️

➡️ burgeonlab.com/blog/add-apprec

Discovered a new #SmallWeb tool called iine, that is privacy-first, super lightweight, with zero tracking. Also has a noscript version! Created by Óscar (github.com/welpo/).

Wrote a quick guide on using it on my Hugo blog.

Another late week note... I'll definitely try to write one earlier this week! Week 47 is all about #Indieweb! There's #IRC, #webrings, #webmentions and a smattering of links I came across.
