Notes | June 2026

I created an extension of my indieBlog bundle for Pure Blog, to implement workout mapping, tracking and analytics on your own Pure Blog site.

Demonstration indieFit project is here: https://indiefit.prry.uk

Code is available from the repo here: https://codeberg.org/leeperry/indieFit

Watch out for config/secrets.php which should power the same mastodon/blusky/webmention functionality that I built in indieBlog, but with workout tracking and mapping. There are keys and secrets here to edit. Note that the workout emoji title structure is important for the analytics to work... if that bothers you!

This update took a little time as the new Pure Blog menu broke how the sidebar menus worked on my custom content types. I could have left this alone, but really liked the focus mode - all is working again now!

With media library and featured images, v3.3.0 of Pure Blog looks to be a big update - especially for non-technical users.

I'm going to wait till I get home at the weekend to test it locally, as featured images will interact with my first image approach, and I need to understand what will happen with other content types - but I can now use Pure Blog on a few sites I might not have done.
