IndieWeb Blog Posts
Although this blog was initially dedicated to coffee, I do sometimes write about technology and the web. My IndieWeb and website building related posts are below.
If you are unsure what the IndieWeb is, I'd recommend checking out the IndieWeb.org wiki. The IndieWeb wiki "why" page includes a great introduction into why you might want to consider setting up your own website.
