# Putting Org Mode on the Indieweb

# Table of Contents



Many of us maintain personal websites using Org Mode. While an
Org-generated static site has advantages over full-blown Content
Management Systems, its simplicity comes with costs such as fewer
features. The first feature I missed was supporting comments on my
site, but I quickly began to feel isolated on the web altogether.

Enter the Indieweb: the Indieweb is a collection of protocols for
connecting to other independent sites, pushing your content to social
media sites, collecting likes, comments & responses from other sites
<span class="underline">back</span> to yours, and many other things as well.

In this talk, I'll briefly sketch out the dilemma of the independent
web site & how the Indieweb tries to address it. The focus, however,
will be on how Emacs, Org Mode, and a few Unix tools suffice to get
your static Org Mode site onto the Indieweb.
