I'm sorry if this is a very silly question, but I've been jabbing angrily at my wordpress install for a bit and can't find the answer - how did you set up the post subscribe system you have? Is it a plugin or are you using a wordpress.com site with your own url?

Yeah it's a wordpress.com site, I don't know computers well enough to create a real website. Wordpress.com gives you a bunch of widgets you can put in your sidebar and one of them is a Subscribe button.

If it's not TMI, can I ask how much you pay a month to host the site? And if you'd have to pay more if you got a sudden boost in traffic?

I use https://phpwebhosting.com/

Ten bucks a month plus a renewal fee every year for SSL. They are very responsive to concerns, have a pretty good uptime, but their backend is super basic. They don't have the fancy control panel that a lot of bigger hosts offer, the ones that'll install Wordpress for you and do your taxes. Bandwidth and disk space are such nonissues these days, you do not need to pay a lot for your host if you're just doing a webcomic.

They won't charge a lot for a sudden boost either, but I do remember years ago when the comic was linked on imgur that the sudden traffic mimicked a DDoS attack, and the server went down. I had to contact them to assure them everything was fine.

Indie webcomics generally just don't have that kind of traffic anymore though. You don't need anything fancy or super robust.

Also my new favourite petty thing is to differentiate self-hosted comics from the comics on Webtoons and the like by calling us indie.

How to Block AI Bots from Scraping Your Website

The Silmarillion Writers' Guild just recently opened its draft AI policy for comment, and one thing people wanted was for us, if possible, to block AI bots from scraping the SWG website. Twelve hours ago, I had no idea if it was possible! But I spent a few hours today researching the subject, and the SWG site is now much more locked down against AI bots than it was this time yesterday.

I know I am not the only person with a website or blog or portfolio online that doesn't want their content being used to train AI. So I thought I'd put together what I learned today in hopes that it might help others.

First, two important points:

I am not an IT professional. I am a middle-school humanities teacher with degrees in psychology, teaching, and humanities. I'm self-taught where building and maintaining websites is concerned. In other words, I'm not an expert but simply passing on what I learned during my research today.

On that note, I can't help with troubleshooting on your own site or project. I wouldn't even have been able to do everything here on my own for the SWG, but thankfully my co-admin Russandol has much more tech knowledge than me and picked up where I got lost.

Step 1: Block AI Bots Using Robots.txt

If you don't even know what this is, start here:

About /robots.txt

How to write and submit a robots.txt file

If you know how to find (or create) the robots.txt file for your website, you're going to add the following lines of code to the file. (Source: DataDome, How ChatGPT & OpenAI Might Use Your Content, Now & in the Future)

User-agent: CCBot Disallow: /

AND

User-agent: ChatGPT-User Disallow: /

Step Two: Add HTTPS Headers/Meta Tags

Unfortunately, not all bots respond to robots.txt. Img2dataset is one that recently gained some notoriety when a site owner posted in its issue queue after the bot brought his site down, asking that the bot be opt-in or at least respect robots.txt. He received a rather rude reply from the img2dataset developer. It's covered in Vice's An AI Scraping Tool Is Overwhelming Websites with Traffic.

Img2dataset requires a header tag to keep it away. (Not surprisingly, this is often a more complicated task than updating a robots.txt file. I don't think that's accidental. This is where I got stuck today in working on my Drupal site.) The header tags are "noai" and "noimageai." These function like the more familiar "noindex" and "nofollow" meta tags. When Russa and I were researching this today, we did not find a lot of information on "noai" or "noimageai," so I suspect they are very new. We used the procedure for adding "noindex" or "nofollow" and swapped in "noai" and "noimageai," and it worked for us.

Header meta tags are the same strategy DeviantArt is using to allow artists to opt out of AI scraping; artist Aimee Cozza has more in What Is DeviantArt's New "noai" and "noimageai" Meta Tag and How to Install It. Aimee's blog also has directions for how to use this strategy on WordPress, SquareSpace, Weebly, and Wix sites.

In my research today, I discovered that some webhosts provide tools for adding this code to your header through a form on the site. Check your host's knowledge base to see if you have that option.

You can also use .htaccess or add the tag directly into the HTML in the <head> section. .htaccess makes sense if you want to use the "noai" and "noimageai" tag across your entire site. The HTML solution makes sense if you want to exclude AI crawlers from specific pages.

Here are some resources on how to do this for "noindex" and "nofollow"; just swap in "noai" and "noimageai":

HubSpot, Using Noindex, Nofollow HTML Metatags: How to Tell Google Not to Index a Page in Search (very comprehensive and covers both the .htaccess and HTML solutions)

Google Search Documentation, Block Search Indexing with noindex (both .htaccess and HTML)

AngryStudio, Add noindex and nofollow to Whole Website Using htaccess

Perficient, How to Implement a NoIndex Tag (HTML)

Finally, all of this is contingent on web scrapers following the rules and etiquette of the web. As we know, many do not. Sprinkled amid the many articles I read today on blocking AI scrapers were articles on how to override blocks when scraping the web.

This will also, I suspect, be something of a game of whack-a-mole. As the img2dataset case illustrates, the previous etiquette around robots.txt was ignored in favor of a more complicated opt-out, one that many site owners either won't be aware of or won't have time/skill to implement. I would not be surprised, as the "noai" and "noimageai" tags gain traction, to see bots demanding that site owners jump through a new, different, higher, and possibly fiery hoop in order to protect the content on their sites from AI scraping. These folks serve to make a lot of money off this, which doesn't inspire me with confidence that withholding our work from their grubby hands will be an endeavor that they make easy for us.

SO-28: An Animal and a Human Being...

If there's a lot of engagement on this, this post is liable to get real long, beware before you expand.

No art, but I am working on it and I will add it retroactively. I hope.

Welcome to the Engagement Lounge, for Elephant vs. Elephant Man (257|28) an instalment! Short comments can go in the replies, but there's a 475 character limit. Longer ones will need a reblog. Remember to @asksoldieron if you're reblogging someone else's reblog, so I can see it too!

I would expect the rest of these updates to die even more quietly than usual, under the circumstances. This one's going to go up a little earlier and quieter because I'm going to do some physical therapy this afternoon. It's not helping much, but there's not much else I can do.

Nevertheless, I'm finishing out this six, and then I may vanish until after the election. There was another significant WordPress update, which changed how fonts work. I'm going to have to do some more reformatting, and figure out how to deal with the internet being devoid of unpaid help for someone like me.

So, I was a big fan of In Search Of... as a kid, and this is a reference to their episode about the "Elephant Man" AKA Joseph Merrick. They did it up reenactment-style and had actors read the words people wrote about his situation. Merrick himself didn't seem to have much to say. But what stuck with me was the nurse's reaction. Here is a Victorian-era hospital nurse, she has seen some shit. When Mr. Merrick showed up at her hospital, she freaked out. She was terrified. Sickened. He was too much for her. And then she felt like dogshit. She pulled it together and got back to doing her job - it just took her a minute - but she never shook off being ashamed of her initial reaction.

Erik is no stranger to pain and disability. On some level, he knows what Crackles are, but he's never seen the mental aspect. It's too much for him. That can't be a person. The person is somewhere under all that, and he needs help!

Marc does need help - and part of the reason this six took so long is I detoured and wrote 90+ pages of his backstory in instalment form so I'd be sure what his deal is - but he doesn't need help like that. He's different, and he didn't choose it, but he is what he is. I like doubling and mirror-images, so he's also pretty freaked out by what he sees of Erik. He didn't know they were forcing Erik to work for them, and hurting him the whole time.

By the end of it, they're both a little wiser, but neither one of them may quite remember it.

I'd also like to note - ya know that thing cats do, where they moosh their face into your hand and help pull back their own skin until you can see the whites of their eyes? Then they drool on you? Why is that cute? It is extremely cute, I agree, but now that I had to figure out how to describe it as best I could, for when Misha does it, it sounds horrifying. That's hilarious to me.

So Matt Mullenweg has decided that if you’re a host he’s threatened by, he will pull the plug on your access to WordPress.org’s resources. So none of your users (who are just trying to host their websites, by the way) can install any security updates or add new plugins or themes. 

I have absolutely zero desire to touch anything hosted by Automattic. The Jetpack plugin is abysmal. WordPress.com is the worst possible way to host a WordPress site. Matt Mullenweg being hostile towards a major host that people are happy with is pretty scary. Are we all gonna need to eventually fall in line and pay Automattic if we don’t want the CEO to aggressively break functionality of our sites?

The Art of the Ad: Sex, Lies, and Video Games, Part III

We’re back with another installment of vintage video and arcade game ads! Check it out on the Wordpress site.

[kiriska]

Follow-up question about your site, sorry! I was wondering how you got the read time for your posts and how you set your store's URL to "store.kiriska.com"? Are they plugins? I'd love to have an easy URL for my store like that when I open it. Sorry for bugging you!

Read time is a plugin.

The store is on a subdomain, which points to a different WordPress installation (and uses WooCommerce). Depending on your domain situation, you should be able to set up any number of subdomains and point them to whatever you want (as long as the destination allows for it). So if you wanted to have your store at Shopify or Storenvy or whatever, you should be able to point it there.

No worries at all about website questions! I'm all for people exploring making their own sites!

I wrote a blog post about some website basics a while back, though I suppose I'll need to edit it to no longer really rec Tumblr as a "web host."

I've been sitting on a WordPress-specific post for literally years, but have mixed feelings about it I guess. I don't think WP is as beginner-friendly as it'd like to pretend to be, and while technically open-source, Automattic does still have a strong hand in its ongoing development, and I haven't liked its development direction in a while, personally.

That said, there are absolutely no shortage of WP resources out there, which makes it more accessible than some alternatives, imo.

[transmandrake]

I really like neocities as a concept but something rubs me a bit wrong about it also. I think its that a lot of people are fed up with the new, sucky internet, and so.... are going back to replicating the old, often suckier internet.

I dunno. Can we make something new instead of just recreating old stuff. I don't really have a solution to it just. Man so many of these hurt my face.

Its not perfect but a big reason I'm using wordpress instead of DIYing it, aside from being way quicker is jus... theres so many more quality of life things I can install. Tooltips. Accessibility. Toggles. Like I know (At least. I think it is) all html and css all the way down (always has been) but this is different beasts.

I also am slightly peeved by the insistence on learning to code. Excellent skill yes, but I do wonder how many people are aware you... don't have to? Its like yes learning to cut a potato up and cook it is a very good skill but there is such a thing as bagged chips you can do in like 5 minutes. And you arent like. Lazy for finding learning to code too much of a wall to making a silly fun website for yourself. Its just that all the places that have website builders want to rip as much money out of you as possible so its either forking out on hosting and a domain so you can actually do what you want or. Well learning to code I guess. Immensely thankful neocities is even a thing but its not really... the solution? The barrier of entry may be free but its higher.

I think everyone deserves the cheapest, most flexible, and intuitive way to express and contribute to the web as possible. Really I feel like the only way to combat a handful of sites inevitably becoming the only things you see is a complete rethinking of how the internet even works, but thats neither here nor there. I'm definitely not knowledgeable enough to even attempt to think about if thats possible.

Yes I know theres different web thingies that do things differently but I havent really encountered any that feel like theyre not just. The resucitated corpse of the old internet

[fencer-x]

With the AO3 downtime/ddos attack getting people antsy, longing for the days where we still had our fandom fic sites we could browse (or at least missing works being available in multiple locations instead of concentrated on one amazing site that unfortunately attracts bad actors and risks disappearing forever), consider setting up an efiction server!

All you need is a self-hosted website and minimal understanding of SQL (if you've successfully managed a self-hosted wordpress instance, you're probably equipped to install and manage this!).

It's been built just for such occasions, to allow people to create their own AO3s or ff.nets, and cross-posting is something we should think about getting back to in these uncertain times!

A Good Rule of Thumb: Too Clever is Dumb

Sooo, I am going through the site, post by post, to make sure everything is legible. Got about 100 left to go. But, here's the deal, my custom reusable blocks, which WordPress is so proud to offer... Aren't.

It's the updates. It's a year's worth of updates since I designed most of them, to WP and to the third party blocks that hafta keep up with it. Milo's cards don't really work anymore, nor do my existing accordions - although the the template still works on the latter if I stamp out a whole new block, the accordions weren't as complicated.

There wouldn't be as much of a problem if I could make a post and never, ever open it in the editor again, ha-ha, but that's not how I roll. So, while I am fixing colours and minor formatting errors, I am experiencing an occasional crashed block. I haven't killed any of Milo's cards yet, but the template doesn't work to make new ones, so it's inevitable.

First, I am correcting for legibility. But, eventually, I will have to go back around and redo the cards, and probably the Liner Notes, and other random stuff. I'll have to pick a new card format before I post the next instalment, because there's a card in it. I might end up going way more simple with no font or graphics at all - I'm having trouble with the theme fonts overriding the card fonts. Or else I'll hafta go back to images, which is less accessible and won't work with the dark mode. I know probably nobody's willing to put up with my work via a screen reader, but I'm trying not to be an asshole, just in case, ya know?

Well, tl;dr, I believed WordPress about a thing and made more work for myself. If grouped in a complex structure, Gutenberg's reusable blocks aren't reusable. Depending on complexity, you got about a year, then you gotta remake them all over again.

Beyond that: Since Discuz started dropping updates of untested compatibility, the SPOILER tags don't work anymore! There are spoiler-heavy comments now. I might be able to fix it, but in the meantime, NEW READERS (if any) BEWARE THE COMMENTS.

Wait, you use Drupal? I've always loved Drupal, but people keep telling me I should switch to WordPress. Even Dries is affiliated with the WordPress team now. It's all so confusing.

(sighing)

Once upon a time, all our household sites ran on Drupal. But time went by and WordPress improved, and (around the same time) I realized that Life Was Too Short To Manually Update Core Every Other Damn Day. So one by one the sites got switched over.

The very, very last one still running on Drupal (7.x, as it happens) was our very first site, European Cuisines. Which is down at the moment, because the last update to 7.9.4 broke it. This almost certainly has to do with a theme that is now superannuated and which couldn't bear changing versions of PHP.

Now, we have a migration of D7 to WP 6.1.1 waiting up in a subdirectory, ready to be moved down to the root. But before I do that I want to make sure that we have all the original page and post URLs preserved somewhere else offsite, in a different domain and install, so that as we bring the WP install online, we can make sure they're duplicated as closely as possible (not to mention me writing about a zillion 301 redirects into the .htaccess file) and don't trash twenty years' worth of SEO. ...And the D7 site, because it's damaged, is making this AS DIFFICULT FOR ME AS (in)HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

Therefore I am out of sorts.

...Fortunately, in about fifteen minutes @petermorwood is going to take me out to our local shopping town and ply me with drink by way of celebrating our Paperwork Anniversary. And I AM SO FECKING READY FOR THAT.

...So! Onwards. ...And thanks for inquiring. :)
