I spent some time last night, and into the early hours, improving the webmention experience within (b)log-In.

Inspired by the plugin for WordPress, I have provided a means to manually trigger a webmention for those who do not have the ability to send one from their site.

Visiting the webmention endpoint directly will now show a form when no source or target URL are passed to it:

 Endpoint webmention form

It is then a simple matter of pasting in those links and hitting 'Send'.

 Manual webmention link

Under each comment form there is now a link to send a webmention, this takes you to the endpoint form with the permalink of that post filled in as the target URL:

Endpoint with target URL filled

Just paste in the URL of the post that mentions it and hit 'Send' – nice and easy.

I need to make further tweaks to what is displayed upon submitting a mention 1 but it all works and is ready to be used.


  1. especially if an error occurs like the target URL can't be found at the link provided

The endpoint logic was intact, it was just that my testing exposed a specific case I hadn't accounted for when sending mentions between posts on the same day – that has been fixed.

I've also reworked the endpoint to make the logic flow a little better and catch more potential errors.
