Fun fact: this is the first post I’ve made in quite some time using a CMS (Content Management System).

But wait! you say. Your #website is built with Bridgetown. Are you saying Bridgetown now has its own CMS?

Well, I could tell you, but then I’m afraid I’d have to kill you. 😎

A brief bit of context here: I’ve built a number of CMSes over the many years I’ve been a web developer—several just in the era of Jekyll. Because of that prior experience, I have deeply resisted building a CMS for Bridgetown because I know how incredibly “easy” it seems at first and how incredibly hard it actually is in practice.

But I think I may have finally cracked this nut, and it has less to do with building a CMS per se and more to do with building a platform and a toolkit which lets developers build themselves a CMS. That’s all I can say for now. Stay tuned. 😄

I will always remember building and unloading the #Rush drum kit for a show. Three trucks. Yet a masterful Ruth Goldberg assembly. Thank you Neil Pert.
So just how would one go about finding a chocolate milkshake (not a euphemism) in Santiago, Chile?

Great suggestion Dan. Wish granted.

On my #IndieWeb site, I control the user experience.

Since 2010^1, I’ve had previous/next ( ← → ) temporal^2 navigation links on the top right of my post permalinks, across all posts (something I always wanted on my notes, and Twitter lacked)

In 2018^3, I added similar ( ← → ) links on day archive pages, for previous/next days.

Ideally I’d build similar automatic ( ← → ) links for each hashtag in a post, for the previous/next post with that same hashtag.

OR for now I could manually add forward-in-time links to the bottom of my five previous #100DaysOfIndieWeb posts, and with each subsequent post, remember to update the previous one.

So that’s what I did, am doing, per https://indieweb.org/manual_until_it_hurts.

Previous #100DaysOfIndieWeb posts updated.

This is day 6 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, which is now a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_linked_list

As someone who worked on hundreds of bus systems online data, I spent a lot of time trying to convince transit agencies that “the old old church” and “dirt rd/dirt rd” is not a good stop name. Intersections are ideal if standard formatting and cleaned for text-to-speech.
idk who needs to hear this but station names don't need to tell you everything about their environs. pick a street, neighbourhood, or landmark – whatever provides most ...

The #IndieWeb approach *is* the simpler day-to-day approach.

Once you setup your domain & provider (or host/CMS), you always know where to post.

Your own site.

Write first, defer “destination decisions”.

Create first, edit for audience(s) second.

It’s refreshing & liberating.

Whether text, photos, videos, podcasts, brief thoughts, thinking out loud, a considered essay or “thought piece”, or replies to any of the above, start with your own site.

Why burden yourself with having to decide what to post based on:
* Will this fit in 140^H^H^H 280 characters?
* Or 500?
* Does it need a title?
* Will my photos/videos fit their aspect ratio limits?
* Which four photos for this album? Or 10? What one aspect ratio to crop them all into?
* Will my video fit in 15, 30, 90, or 140 seconds?
* Will I upset Big Chad or be subject to selective enforcement of ever-changing policies?
* Can I edit my post after publishing?

By decoupling creating from “distribution”, or “audience”, or “reach”, or the size of someone else’s storage boxes, you are free to express your thoughts first, then optionally decide if you want to share them elsewhere and edit as necessary.

If you do want to syndicate (POSSE) your post, then you can decide:
* Where else to send your post
* Is it worth your time to edit your post for any particular destination
* … their content limits (number of characters/photos, or video length)
* … their audience expectations or terms of service sensitivities

Creating and editing are different mental tasks.

Decoupling them makes posting easier and you can do a better job at both.

You can defer destination decisions & editing to some point in the future entirely, when you feel it’s worth your time.

You decide how and when to spend time creating vs editing. You are in control.
