I’ve seen a few events being posted on the Indieweb.org website, and have been attempting to make the monthly one in Pacific time, it just hasn’t clicked yet.

I noticed that you can RSVP through webmentions, so I thought, why not give it a shot?!

My site is already configured to work with Bridgy, so that work is completed. All I need to do is add some HTML to my page to submit it. Let’s do this!

Build a Website in an Hour

There’s an event in late March that looks fun! Build anything you want, from scratch, in an hour. Share with the group at the end. A challenge and some fun!

So here’s my RSVP for the event:

📆 Jeff Sikes RSVPs yes to Build a Website in an Hour

The code to send the RSVP looks like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

<div class="h-entry">
  <p class="p-summary">
    📆 <a href="https://box464.com" class="p-author h-card">Jeff Sikes</a> RSVPs
    <span class="p-rsvp" style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">yes</span> to
    <a
      href="https://events.indieweb.org/2024/03/build-a-website-in-an-hour-lUYv5DntQ3Sr"
      class="u-in-reply-to"
      rel="webmention"
      >Build a Website in an Hour</a
    >
  </p>
</div>

When this page is picked up in Telegraph, it should find the u-in-reply-to link and send it along.

Let’s see if it works! If it does, my RSVP should appear at the bottom of the event page listed above.
