====== status.cafe Tips & Tricks ======
[[https://status.cafe/|status.cafe]] is a microblogging platform that's super simple-- you can't follow anyone or like anything-- and I personally use it to write about my site updates (for the most part). Here's some tips and "hacks" that I've found for customizing your status.cafe experience.

===== Embedding Onto Your Site =====
You can use the [[https://status.cafe/current-status|provided embed code]] but it doesn't work on all sites. Here's some alternatives: 

1. [[https://bechnokid.neocities.org/resources/statuscafefeed/|Creating a Feed Reader from StatusCafe]] from bechnokid -- uses Javascript; basically you make a little script that pulls the RSS feed from your status.cafe account and puts it into your static site page

2. [[https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/widgets|petrapixel's iframe widget]] -- this is what I use! Some light style customization options available. 

===== Decorating Your Profile =====
1. [[https://forum.status.cafe/topics/102|decodreams' tips on the forum]] covers backgrounds, fonts, header, etc. 

2. [[https://pixeliana.neocities.org/statuscafe|pixeliana's tips]] include hiding various elements on your page.

===== Custom Emojis =====
[[https://ctrl-c.club/~gome/journal/status-cafe.html|gome's bookmarklet]] lets you select whatever emoji you want vs. the standard ones, as long as it's a single-character emoji.
