What I'm wondering is how to create the so-called header and footer links which appear on every page. Where you put your project/company/blog's mission explanation, the "support us" links, contacts, and (in case of writers) license, as creative commons and so on.
That's the nav_links configuration 🙂
nav_links:
- url: https://example.social/@me
display_name: Mastodon
icon: https://example.social/favicon.ico
- url: https://project.tech
display_name: My Project
icon: https://project.tech/favicon.ico
If instead you want to have them on the /about page but not in the main page navigation then you can add them as external_links instead.
I also noticed an accessibility issue both in cards and lists mode: post titles aren't semantically marked with h2 headings. I'd expect main blog's title with h1, then every title in the blog posts list is an h2. See the example in WordPress blogs
Thank you for the feedback! I'll tackle this soon - from a style perspective it doesn't matter much the heading level of the titles on the index, but I forgot that it messes up the a11y DOM hierarchy.

How to interact with this page
Webmentions
To interact via Webmentions, send an activity that references this URL from a platform that supports Webmentions, such as Lemmy, WordPress with Webmention plugins, or any IndieWeb-compatible site.
ActivityPub
- Follow @fabio@manganiello.blog on your ActivityPub platform (e.g. Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Lemmy).
- Mention @fabio@manganiello.blog in a post to feature on the Guestbook.
- Search for this URL on your instance to find and interact with the post.
- Like, boost, quote, or reply to the post to feature your activity here.
@fabio is there a complete documentation of all configuration variables? In the config yaml example I didn't find the nav_links variable.
And about pages: if I want to link to a specific blog's article? I was wondering how it works. If I want to place the guestbook page into the nav bar, should I link the whole http URL or just /guestbook?
Then - on WriteFreely, if I publish a post and pin it, it goes to header's links. As it should. But every markdown post I upload on madblog, gets into the Rss I think, like normal posts, even if it's not a post but a "static" page

It's in the example - but I've added it today, the timing was perfect because I also needed it to migrate my personal website.
A full reference of the configuration parameters is on the README too.
if I want to link to a specific blog's article?
If you link to a blog article from another blog article a Webmention will be automatically sent out, so you can see the comment under the original page.
If you or anyone replies to a post from Mastodon and enable_activitypub is true then the reply will also be rendered automatically under the original page.
If you instead you mean "adding a link to another article in the nav bar", that should be possible always with nav_links:
nav_links:
- name: Some Important Post
url: /article/some-important-post
icon: https://madblog.plusbrothers.net/img/myicon.png
If I want to place the guestbook page into the nav bar, should I link the whole http URL or just /guestbook?
Both should work. But you don't need to explicitly add the guestbook to the nav bar - it's automatically added if either Webmentions or ActivityPub are enabled and enable_guestbook is not set to false.
Then - on WriteFreely, if I publish a post and pin it, it goes to header's links.
Proper support for pinned collections hasn't yet been implemented (it requires implementing ActivityPub collections on Pubby too).
The workaround for now is simply to add links to nav_links.
But every markdown post I upload on madblog, gets into the Rss I think, like normal posts, even if it's not a post but a "static" page
Everything #markdown file you put under markdown on #madblog is also included in the RSS feed - unless you set default_visibility to non-public in the configuration or set e.g. [//]: # (visibility: unlisted) (or followers, direct or draft) in the Markdown headers.
@fabio This platform seems very interesting. It has a bigger learning curve than WordPress but, as far as I understood, I have no longer to worry about themes and stuff - except for the logo if needed, maybe I should set dimension manually (no idea of how sighted folks need it to be!)
