FAQ

Purpose of this service?

To accept and display WebMentions on people's site. Especially handy if the site is a static one – eg. based on Jekyll and perhaps hosted on something like GitHub Pages – because then you can't really handle WebMentions in the site itself.

How can I style my mentions?

To get up to date example HTML, temporarily replace your WebMention embed with the following script instead. More info in the documentation.

Do I need to style my mentions?

Yes, at this point in time you unfortunately have to do that. They are completely unstyled – just plain HTML. See the previous answer for a handy tip for doing so and feel inspired by the CSS used on this page if you like.
