Drew has been adding webmention support not just to his own site, but any site using Perch. This account of his process is a really good overview of webmentions.

I’ve been kicking the tyres on this great new tool from Remy. Give it a URL and it’ll find all the links in its h-entry
s and automatically send webmentions to them. Very cool!
The documentation on the site is excellent, guiding you to the right solution for your particular needs. Read Remy’s announcement:
I’ve also tried very hard to get the documentation to be as welcoming as I can. I’ve tried to think about my dear visitor and what they want to do with the software, rather than type my typical developer approach to documentation - listing all the features and options.
For me, I do find that Webmentions are really enhancing linking—by offering a type of bidirectional hyperlink. I think if they could see widespread use, we’d see a Renaissance of blogging on the Web. Webmentions are just so versatile—you can use them to commment, you an form ad-hoc directories with them, you can identify yourself to a wider community. I really feel like they are a useful modernization.
I have a richer picture of the group of people in my feed reader than I did of the people I regularly interacted with on social media platforms like Instagram.
If you only write when you’re sure you’ll produce brilliance, you’ll never write.

Hell has frozen over …you can now comment on my site. But there’s a catch.
The web is what we make it.
Write for yourself.
