“the pandemic is over.” Wrong. It is important to understand the meaning of these words.

endemic: the constant presence and/or usual prevalence of a disease or infectious agent in a population within a geographic area.

epidemic: rapid spread of disease cases in a specific geographical area.

pandemic: an epidemic occurring worldwide, or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people.

COVID is clearly not endemic due to its continued high prevalence. It is not limited to a specific geographical area and is occurring globally. Thus it is a pandemic. Do not confuse the dropping of public health mitigations like wearing a well-fitting respirator indoors with “the pandemic is over.”

This is one way of several based on the authorship spec (https://indieweb.org/authorship-spec#Algorithm). The p-author h-card inside the h-feed might make the most sense in your case, but you could also have a u-author property inside each h-entry that links to a page that has your author h-card. I do this with my posts, with an invisible link to my homepage.

Understood, but the error message sounds like it found "post-type" or "article" mf2 properties and doesn’t know how to handle them since they’re not part of h-entry. A small change in the error message will probably make it more clear.

Uninterpreted properties errors

A couple issues I noticed on https://indieweb.rocks/gregorlove.com:

  1. Uninterpreted h-card properties: nickname
  2. Uninterpreted h-entry properties: post-type article

On the second one I’m not sure what it’s finding. My posts don’t have microformats properties "post-type" or "article." If it doesn’t understand how to process articles, the error message could be clarified so it doesn’t sound like an issue in the published post.

Thanks, David. I try to remind myself it won’t always be like this.

Aside: I’m getting an https error on your site currently.

Thanks, Jamie. I appreciate the encouragement. I probably should explore more hobbies because most of the time I’m escaping through TV or games. I do enjoy jigsaws and LEGO is always fun!

Sounds like they need their safe plates.

I'll see myself out.

I'm sure the @Delta CEO will get that down to 5 days.

“certainly individuals at higher risk should be masking...”

No, everyone should be, Director, even by your community levels metric.

So clear. It sounds like Bill Gates is right in the room when he talks to me.
