Okay, so I went back and “fixed” this for tonight’s event by deleting the posts and redoing them as replies. Sorry for any duplicates in your timeline, y’all!

@pratik How I redid them as replies? Nothing fancy, just copied/pasted them one-by-one as individual replies to the live blog announcement post, and then deleted the original posts on Micro.blog.

@pratik Oh, the timestamped live blogging I do with a (rather clever, if I may) shortcut. I’m hoping to write about it soon. 😁

@pratik The cliffnotes are that the live blogging all takes place in a single blog post that I keep open in iA Writer and just add new lines and save every so often. I do that so I can easily change the timestamps later in one text file (using another shortcut, of course) since the final video usually differs slightly from the livestream.

Since the live version is in my “Posts” folder in Blot, it just updates on the web every time I save. For readers, I added a couple lines of javascript that automatically refreshes the page every 30 seconds.

I’m planning on just copying/pasting highlight comments as replies to be in the broader conversation on the timeline. But, yeah, you could absolutely use this method in a long thread too. You’d just lose the ability to easily edit the timestamps later.
