It's been about a year since I ditched Blogger and made a move to my own site. Somewhere between all the python programming and CSS designing (and the physics on the side!), I was introduced to the IndieWeb. And I was hooked... I previously wrote about my decision to move from Blogger in Redux. All the design decisions that motivated me then, still stand. The indieweb adds another piece to the independence puzzle. Can you own your data? Can your site somehow directly talk to other sites on the Web? Can you like, favourite, +1 other people's posts without relying on Facebook, Twitter or Google?
