An excellent improvement to Micro.blog was announced last month. The addition of custom templates via the implementation of the Hugo framework makes hosted blogs endlessly customizable.1 The easiest way to get started is to clone an existing theme from an account’s design page and use the existing structure to change just about every detail of a hosted blog. It’s really quite remarkable how much control @manton has added by switching the build engine to Hugo.

First time at Capital Factory? Look for these doors tomorrow inside the building lobby. You can still register for IndieWebCamp here. $5 or free when you blog about the event!

This weekend is IndieWebCamp Austin, an event for bloggers, web developers, designers, and anyone who wants to create something for their own web site, or to build tools based on IndieWeb standards. You can register here. After my first IndieWebCamp, I wrote: There’s nothing like meeting in person with other members of the community. I know this from attending Apple developer conferences, but the weekend in Austin only underscored that I should be more active in the larger web community as well. It’s invaluable to chat with someone in person. This year, we’ll have IndieWeb co-founders Tantek Çelik and Aaron Parecki back in Austin. I’m looking forward to hearing how the IndieWeb has moved forward in the last year.

Started the day with JuiceLand. Love these silly prints on the wall.

Got to see a few things in Fort Worth with family over the weekend. Great to have some time to explore instead of just driving through.
