        Please blog. I’m hoping for a revival of the golden age of blogging. Currently in the process of migrating away from Tumblr to Wordpress, after a brief experimentation with Ghost. Also, can we bring back webrings?!

        We just need a name for our webring, and to select the appropriate floral animated gif.

        I reduce whatever I want to say to be so simplistic and/or cryptic that it will fit in a tweet instead.

        I just get so depressed about how banal my ideas and experiences are that I give up and don’t blog. Highly recommended 😭

        I use Jekyll, but there’s probably a static site generator for your favorite language as well. I have a script that will take a folder of photos, upload them to my server, and generate a post in markdown with all the images there. Edit in atom, which has live markdown preview.

        I think they just write things in Notes and then screenshot it and upload it to twitter.

        I do opinion pieces on news sites. Creates a reference for other news sites. Not perfect, but more durable. I used to blog on a Microsoft technet site, but they nuked it, so I was luckily able to grab a post honoring my late mom before it evaporated again.

        Ah, here's an even simpler @Glitch project to get started with a Ghost blog — just remix and go: https://glitch.com/~ghost  And if you really wanna go old-school, add a hit-counter to your new blog. :) https://hit-counter.glitch.me

        I set up a Wordpress blog via bluehost. But turns out I’m not really using it. Everyone told me to just use Medium.

        I've been thinking of starting a more personal one as well, though maybe under a pen name. Loving that detailed description of the manflu, sorry you had to endure it.
