Check your posts (notes, articles, etc.) are marked up with h-entry:

Success!

We found the following post h-entry on your site:

Name

Indieweb / SoundCloud

Author

Add an author! 

<a rel="author" class="p-author h-card" href="…">Your Name</a>

Content

Wrote-up Criticism on SoundCloud commentary lock-in and filed a Bridgy feature request to solve this: When the SoundCloud player is embedded in other posts on other Silos or the web, all comments / likes / etc. are not shown. All the community building effort is locked-in to the SoundCloud site itself. A way to export / relay all commentary for a given track or playlist into Indieweb would be highly desirable. This is important data being produced by individuals that represents valuable information about a given track, and there is currently no way to share this on the open web other than copy and pasting all the text from soundcloud.com, with very poor formatting. A bridgy feature request was filed: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/587 https://indiewebcamp.com/SoundCloud#Commentary_lock-in Wouldn’t it be nice to bring all the comments on your SoundCloud Tracks to your own Website / Blog?  http://news.indiewebcamp.com/en

Categories

Add some categories! <a class="p-category" href="…">…</a>

Your h-entries should have, at minimum, the following properties:

  • e-content — the main content of the post
  • p-name — if your post is an article with a name, use this classname.
  • dt-published — the datetime the post was published at, in ISO8601 format, with a timezone
  • u-url — the canonical URL of the post, especially important on pages listing multiple posts

It’s a common convention for the published datetime to be a link to the post itself, but they can be separate if you want.

There should also be some way to discover the author of the post — either link to your homepage (which should have your h-card on it) from anywhere within the body of the page with rel=author, or optionally embed a p-author h-card in the h-entry.

The web is an expressive medium, and as such there are many other properties which you can add to your posts. Check out the h-entry documentation for a full list.
