    ActivityPub update

    My thanks to @kenSwinson for their help and troubleshooting with ActivityPub integration into WordPress (visit their website at https://www.kenswinson.com/). Although I thought it was a simple matter of loading a plugin, it turned out to be a little bit more complex. Technical process really is that simple – just load the plugin and configure. However,…

  • ActivityPub Test 2

    Second attempt to link up ActivityPub

  • ActivityPub testing

    Trying to troubleshoot our new ActivityPub addon, which supposedly posts WordPress to Mastodon, and Mastodon replies back to WordPress. The first part is working fine, Mastodon is receiving the postings, but I can’t seem to puzzle out how to get the responses. Functionally, I think it is my own misunderstanding – I expect the software…

  • Subscriber milestone, slowly growing

    Subscriber milestone, slowly growing

    We hit another milestone for our YouTube presence (Halfing13) this morning, breaking into the 700-subscriber mark. For our channel, this is major, but for most of YouTube, it is just a small blip.

Check in with our group weekly, on recent activities, behind the scenes information, and upcoming plans. This week, we had our planned group bowling trip, and posted battle report 081 for Legion.…

  • Tabletop Tube – a Viewport

    Tabletop Tube – a Viewport

    Working on expanding the channel material with what the wife has dubbed “tabletop tube”, but in my mind is really just a video blog. Ideally, it is a lively conversation about our activities, both past, present and future, and perhaps some advice and stories. More than likely, I suspect it will be a ramble, at…

  • YouTube support is now available

    YouTube support is now available

    Experimenting a bit with the options for YouTube Memberships, to allow for support from the growing audience. I have had a Patreon site configured for quite some time, but the level of support there is minimal to non-existent. I don’t really expect it to be much different on the YouTube mechanics, but it at least…
