In my case, the photo is coming from the Post Kinds WordPress plugin parsing it from an hCard on the url I’m replying to, and the theme displaying it. It can be removed under the Author details:

I’ve been liking Inoreader enough I’ve taken advantage of their “Black Friday” offer, and grabbed myself a year of the Pro tier at a discount.

🔖 Bookmarked: Extending Apple’s homekit through Homebridge by an author

“I’ve been doing a lot of weekend house projects lately. I started with hours on YouTube watching videos on how to wire up wall switches because I wanted to control more lights on my network. …”

Homebridge sounds like something I should try out sometime; HomeKit has quickly become my favourite way to control devices in my home… but device support is seemingly getting rarer (especially here in the UK)

I’ve updated my Links page, adding RSS/feed data to every record I could, so Inoreader will pick up the feeds from my OPML file. I’ve also started adding all of the missing “follows” I have – starting with my old Feedly export, then I’ll add any missing from Aperture. So far I’ve added a bunch of blogs on various topics, and a new category for Scotland-focussed content.

Classifying sites has been one of the tricker aspects of this exercise so far! Some of my subscriptions date back 15+ years, and no site remains confined to a single topic for that long. For many I’ve been going with “what does this person do?” rather than what they’re currently writing about. Others are matched up with how I categorised them when I first subscribed (more or less). If I end up adding more categories I’ll reevaluate where some sites sit, but I’m keeping the number of categories as small as I can.

I’ve trimmed off a few dead sites, but – I confess –  I’ve left just as many still on the list in the hope they spring back to life one day.
