  "textContent": "Bluesky just released some very nice custom link cards that work with standard.site links.   I saw them and instantly thought: WANT. NEED.  The only issue is I blog manually on Neocities rather than using one of the ATproto blogging services. But, if you like these link cards, I've discovered it is possible to add the required elements into your html files on a basic Neocities site!  Here I present a step-by-step guide. It is easier than it sounds, but will require an extra step every time you post a new page (which for me is part of the fun). If you're interested, read on!  Part 1: One-time setup You only need to do this once for your whole site.  Step 1: Log in to PDSls Create a Bluesky app password — create one at Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords  Go to pdsls.dev and log in with your Bluesky handle and your app password (not your regular password).  Step 2: Create your publication record Click Create Record. In the Collection field at the top, type:  site.standard.publication Then replace everything in the editor with this, filling in your own details:     $type: site.standard.publication,   url: https:yoursite.neocities.org,   name: Your Blog Name,   description: A short description of your blog,   preferences:      showInDiscover: true     Note: the icon detail which allows for an image to go with your blog is not present here - this is more advanced and I'm still working out best practice. With no icon, it will display your first initial.  Click Create. Copy the AT-URI that appears — it looks like:  at:did:plc:abc123...site.standard.publicationxyz789 Save this somewhere safe — you'll need it for every post.  Step 3: Add a verification file to Neocities Paste your AT-URI into a text editor such as Notepad. Save it as site.standard.publication The file should contain just your publication AT-URI on a single line — nothing else In your Neocities file manager, create a folder called .well-known Inside it, upload the .publication file Save it Note: the file may prompt a download rather than displaying in the browser — that's fine! It will still validate correctly.  Step 4: Add a link tag to your homepage Open your index.html in the Neocities editor and add this inside the head section, using your own publication AT-URI:  link rel=site.standard.publication   href=at:did:plc:abc123...site.standard.publicationxyz789   Part 2: Every time you publish a new post Repeat these steps for each new post.  Step 1: Create a document record in PDSls Go back to pdsls.dev, click Create Record, and set the Collection to:  site.standard.document Replace the editor content with this:     $type: site.standard.document,   site: at:did:plc:abc123...site.standard.publicationxyz789,   title: Your Post Title,   path: your-post.html,   description: A short description of your post,   publishedAt: 2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z,   textContent: Paste the full plain text of your post here  site — your publication AT-URI from Part 1 path — just the part of the URL after your domain, e.g. postsmy-post.html publishedAt — adjust the date to today textContent — plain text only, no HTML tags. Bluesky uses this to show a reading time. Click Create and save the document AT-URI that appears.  Step 2: Add tags to your post's HTML Open your post in the Neocities editor and add all of this inside the head section:  !-- Standard.site link tags -- link rel=site.standard.document href=at:did:plc:abc123...site.standard.documentxyz789  link rel=site.standard.publication   href=at:did:plc:abc123...site.standard.publicationxyz789  !-- Open Graph tags -- meta property=og:title content=Your Post Title  meta property=og:description content=A short description.  meta property=og:image content=https:yoursite.neocities.orgimage.jpg  meta property=og:url content=https:yoursite.neocities.orgyour-post.html  Replace all placeholder values with your real AT-URIs and post details. be careful not to confuse the links for your DOCUMENT (individual page) and PUBLICATION (overall site).  Want to check everything is set up correctly? Paste your post URL into the Standard.site Validator.  Some good news: Unlike posting to Bluesky, it is possible to retroactively edit your ATProto records you posted directly from PDSls :) Step 3: Share on Bluesky Paste your post URL into Bluesky and wait for the preview to load before hitting post.  Important: make sure your URL includes the .html extension — e.g. https:yoursite.neocities.orgyour-post.html — otherwise the enhanced card may not appear.",
