IndieAuth

IndieAuth is a way to allow users to use their own domain to sign into other websites and services.

<p>The IndieWeb Plugin for WordPress helps you establish your IndieWeb identity by extending the user profile to provide <a href="https://indieweb.org/rel-me" rel="nofollow ugc">rel-me</a> and<br />
<a href="https://indieweb.org/h-card" rel="nofollow ugc">h-card</a> fields and optionally adding widgets to display this. It also includes a bundled installer for a core set of IndieWeb-related plugins. It’s<br />
meant to be a one-stop shop to help WordPress users quickly and easily join the growing <a href="https://indieweb.org" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> movement (see below).</p>
<p>Some of these plugins allow you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>send and receive comments, likes, reposts, and other kinds of post responses using your own site</li>
<li>allow comments on others’ sites to show up as comments on your posts</li>
<li>help make IndieWeb comments and mentions look better on your site</li>
<li>allow support for webmentions</li>
<li>add location support to your posts</li>
<li>more easily syndicate your content to other sites to take advantage of network effects and other communities while still owning all of your original content</li>
<li>link to syndicated versions of a post so that comments on your content in silos like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram can come back to your original post as comments there</li>
<li>set up a MicroPub Server to use other posting interfaces. (You could potentially use services like Instagram, Foursquare, and others to post to your WordPress site.)</li>
<li>Use your site to log into other services with <a href="https://indieweb.org/indieauth" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieAuth</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The IndieWeb</h4>
<p><strong>The <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> is a people-focused alternative to the ‘corporate web’ that allows you to be the hub of your own web presence.</strong> It’s been written about in <a href="http://www.wired.com/2013/08/indie-web/" rel="nofollow ugc">Wired</a>, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/08/the-new-editors-of-the-internet/378983/" rel="nofollow ugc">The Atlantic</a>, <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/25/indiewebcamps_create_tools_for_a_new_internet.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Slate</a>, and <a href="https://gigaom.com/2014/09/03/dont-like-facebook-owning-and-controlling-your-content-use-tools-that-support-the-open-web/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gigaom</a> amongst others.</p>
<h4>The IndieWeb, like WordPress, feels that your content is yours</h4>
<p>When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.</p>
<h4>The IndieWeb is here to help you be better connected</h4>
<p>Your articles and status messages can be syndicated to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone in your social network/social graph. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place.</p>
<p>Interested in connecting your WordPress site to the <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a>? Let us help you get started.</p>


A totally unappreciated plugin
