This blog now fully supports webmentions
Blog post from: Fri, 20 Feb 2026My website now fully supports webmentions. This is a test in sending them automatically from my posts.
Testing Webmentions
My website on the envs pubnix now fully supports sending and receiving webmentions automatically. I've made h-card and h-entry markup on all of my blog pages, but you can send webmentions to all my webpages except the guestbook and the image gallery.
I'm still new to all this and I just set it up this night with all the microformats and scripting I did on my page in Javascript to show received mentions and my envs-blog management script to send them to the pages and this is my first test!
I had to put some JavaScript on my pages to view the received webmentions, but you can still read the post without Javascript. You just can't read the webmentions. I went the easy way at first with using webmention.io, but I'll maybe come up with my own solution later (if ever needed).
Sites I link to for testing
I've just looked up how to create rel="in-reply-to" links at about "how-to-comment". Let's see, if my blogging script will successfully send him a webmention. In addition I'll send a webmention to my contact page as a non-reply webmention, just to see, if receiving works right. I've also a page on indieweb.org, but I guess, it doesn't receive webmentions?
Last words before sending this post
My script may fail to do everything right and this is just a first test. So I maybe need to delete or update this post. I hope Barry isn't that angry on me, if my post isn't as permanent as it should be. But I pray that all works well.
Best wishes,
