Get Blogging!

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 01:57:00 +0000

This is a good site to point people to when trying to explain why anyone should start a blog:

A blog is an easy way to get started writing on the web. Your voice is important: it deserves its own site. The more people add their unique perspectives to the web, the more valuable it becomes.

Remember that your blog is yours! Your posts can contain exactly what you want them to: a sentence of text or a novel-length essay; photos and videos; audio; links and bookmarks. What you want to share is entirely up to you.

It’s impossible to find time to write. I used to think that one day I’d find time for some “daily words”, and I do actually do so (in a private journal) but rarely is there time and headspace for those words to be public. I don’t really see why I should want to write anything in public anyway, but here we are. Maybe this blog is only about photos, status updates, and random thoughts? But it’d be nice to actually be able to string some brain cells together in text.

Maybe tomorrow!

Writing for the internet across a human lifetime

WRITING FOR THE INTERNET ACROSS A HUMAN LIFETIME No more walled gardens, no more chains of complexity.

Today I declare what once was, is again. Never again will I run another invocation of a static site generator or document renderer. 80 to 100 characters per line is and will continue to be maximum width of English documents. No longer do I pull from social networks, but they will pull from me.

This is MY writing platform. Mine. Me. There is no way to censor or revoke my power. The Internet does not forget one byte, or one bit.
