   @zachleat Erm, all good… except… Maybe it’s just me, but “NEWER” pointing left and “OLDER” right seems like it should be the reverse. You know, like the way we turn pages in a book. 🤷‍♂️

      @iDGS ooh, yep — good call. Pushing a fix

   @zachleat @sstephenson I love your "personal website pill link" element. Nice idea!

   1. Zach Leatherman Bluesky 43 min later

      I did include an HTML-only HTML logo in the codepen.io/zachleat/pen...

         A cleaner version without all the <br> and spacing characters:

         <table border=14 cellspacing=0 bgcolor="#ccc" height="193.16801" width="193.16801"><td align="center"><h1><a href="https://indieweb.social/@sstephenson/116098428280403793">HTML</a></h1></td></table>

         😉

            I like it! Updated the codepen and credited you!

               Happy to be of service and reduce the number of <br> on the web.

   @zachleat @sstephenson would it be too cute to rotate it 45 degrees so the borders mimic brackets?

   1. Zach Leatherman Mastodon 1 hr later

      @jed @sstephenson a diamond logo!??! CSS and JS would never allow this

8. nilsmielke ⁂ Mastodon 1 hr later

   @zachleat @sstephenson Would vouch for 4em width and height.

   1. Zach Leatherman Mastodon 1 hr later

      @nilsmielke @sstephenson I do think that would make the text be more readable when scaled smaller 🤝 (shipped)

   @zachleat When did you start hyphenating your last name? (in the upper-right corner of a 27-inch full screen Chrome browser).

    a logo that looks like a placeholder for a logo that failed to load?

    not really, right? seriously? no.

    1. Zach Leatherman Bluesky 2 hr later

       you’re too late rasmus, it’s already shipped

          hahaha, shipped where, Zach? 😄

       @zachleat I need to adopt it for the Hamburg HTML meetup ☺️

       we used this logo: https://codepen.io/learosema/full/abPbabE

       "HH" is the official abbreviation of Hanse-City Hamburg

          @lea it is pretty good already!

          1. Lea Rosema Mastodon 4 hr later

             @zachleat you've kinda been there already. @matuzo held a talk about ... I think it was about custom elements. And he brought a picture of you!

       @zachleat if an LLM doesn’t spider a post, does it actually exist?

    Given HTML is now WHATWG, I assume they should have one there too. I do love the one they made for the streams specs: resources.whatwg.org/logo-streams... the other ones are nice too. Not sure what's the status for html though.

    Reminds me of the button I made when visiting CSUN many moons ago!

    1. Zach Leatherman Mastodon 3 days later

       @erikKroes @sstephenson I like this button very much — wholesome advice couched in a bad practice 😅

          @zachleat @erikKroes good, I’m working on my “Click Here” button next

          1. Zach Leatherman Mastodon 4 days later

             @sstephenson @erikKroes I don’t think my kids would understand that one 😅

             1. Erik Kroes ✅ Mastodon 4 days later

                @zachleat @sstephenson I've actually considered "click here" 😄

                I was afraid that it might lead to ehmm.. "unwanted physical interaction"

       2. Erik Kroes ✅ Mastodon 4 days later

          @zachleat @sstephenson Also links vs buttons. So many layers 🤯

          (But it mainly comes together as a nice bad pun and fun giveaway 😄)

    @zachleat @sstephenson 88x31 version in good company in my site footer (using the HTML of course)

16. Sara Joy Mastodon 4 days later

    @zachleat @sstephenson I love it!

    But admittedly also I'm a bit unsure because I feel like the HTML will smudge at emoji-size. Hmm.
