@islandinthenet.com Turns out this is how it's supposed to work.
Hi, Khurt, I appreciate your comments on my posts and encourage you to continue using the WordPress comment feature as it is implemented for this posting. I have tried in the past to work through the comment protocol you adopted and found it too time consuming.
Thanks for the feedback. There was a bug in one of the IndieWeb Plugins that has been fixed, which now allows me to use the Jetpack comments. You can read about why of Indieweb:https://alistapart.com/article/webmentions-enabling-better-communication-on-the-internet/.
However, I see weird behaviour for responses to content syndicated to Micro.blog when people respond via Micro.blog.
I read the link with interest, Khurt, and researched the potential for my page. To use plug-ins I need to upgrade to a "Business" plan. This is 2.76 times the cost of by current plan, so I will pass at this time. Technically, it is an interesting concept, as a business proposition it has minimal traction as the potential for using webmentions to expand readership eludes me. Cheers!!
Understood. I have been self-hosting WordPress for over a decade, so I have seen that it takes time for technologies to become mainstream, but I am also a technologist who is constantly learning. I want control over my platform. My current hosting provider provides the platform as a service starting as low as $5/month. FYI, newer platforms such as Micro.blog, support IndieWeb technologies (the actual specs) by default.
As for business case for using them, Chris Aldrich worked with his local newspaper to "IndieWebify" their website: https://boffosocko.com/2018/05/29/indieweb-ifying-coloradoboulevard-net/. He explains the business benefit to the newspaper.
For myself, I sometimes link my image posts to my Instagram posts. When people comment or like an image, the comments and likes appear on my website on the post I linked from. Example here: https://islandinthenet.com/historic-hightstown/
