Re: JulyReply 2026, a blog connecting month

Last month, June 2026, I participated in Robert Birming’s Junited 2026 blog post sharing event. Now it’s July which Robert has branded the JulyReply blog connecting month. The idea is quite simple: if you find a blog post that provokes some thoughts for you, you write a reply to it in your own blog, titled “Re: [the original title]”, just like in the old email conversations. I think this is yet another good, low-effort event of spreading the Indie Web love. Not all blogs have a reply feature in them, and even if they did, for heated topics it might turn into a bit of a flame war in which one doesn’t want to participate. When you reply in your own blog, you’re in control of the reply. I have also on a couple of occasions replied to a blog author by email, but then it’s just between the two of you, whereas a new blog post might benefit more people. You’ll find all of my JulyReplies under the JulyReply category. The number of those replies probably won’t be too high, but I’ll at least…
