This blog now fully supports webmentions

Blog post from: Fri, 20 Feb 2026

My 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 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 Barry Frosts page 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,
