With guidance from Chris Aldrich, I confirmed that the dshanske/twentysixteen-indieweb works great with webmentions on the EFF-Austin site. Thanks once again to David Shanske.

Thanks!!! I will try that one out on the eff-austin site later this week.

At 13:20 in IndieWeb with Wordpress Tutorial: Themes and Microformats, the indieweb wordpress themes wiki page is referenced and a fork of the twentysixteen wordpress theme is mentioned. Is that theme the same as this 2016-child-theme-for-indieweb github repo and is it meant to be used with the mf2 wordpress plugin?

This week I saw Dr. Brandon Wiley speak at EFF-Austin. Both the talk and the Q/A were great and a video archive is available.
