  • First Second Third goal is to validate that the markup I have on individual posts for indieweb is correct... and I was able to use https://indiewebify.me/ to update the single post - canonical urls for my blog posts so that they show satisfactory data when run against indiewebify against it.

For Angelo Gladding Modern browsers, when rendering a pixel art it does compression to lose the "pixelation - https://smorgasborg.artlung.com/image-upsizing-with-svg/ - https://github.com/meyerweb/flaming-shame/ is a tool to turn a pixel art GIF into a SVG that can be upsized without losing the pixel blockiness
