Eternally debating how to organize what / where I blog has me posting far less than I should. Partly as an excuse to try out polls a question: when reading blogs which do you prefer in terms of topics?
For context I used to write a lot about fitness and health when I had a business in that space and was doing the whole ~marketing~ thing, and I still want to write some in that vein.
But now what I've published, and even more so the many unfinished drafts of pieces, are all over the place topics wise, with web dev, philosophy, cybersecurity, and others included in the mix. I'm debating whether to consolidate to one site or keep the topics more to one theme with multiple sites.
#indieweb #blogging
One blog to rule them all and on the web publish them
I only read blogs that stay focused on a specific niche or theme
Other (a middle way between #1 and #2 )

Hi! If you are one of the folks interested in those #BlogQuestionsChallenge things that people around the #indieweb are doing, I made a bot that picks a random topic from a given list and posts 3 questions about those topics that you can answer on your blog!
Right now it will post every other Friday at 12pm EST.
Credit to @shellsharks for the idea!

Ich bin heute auf diesen tollen Artikel von Carsten gestoßen. Dort beschreibt er sehr ausführlich die Unterschiede des Fediverse und des IndieWeb und wie man beide Konzepte kombinieren kann.

My friends scattered. I’m setting up a POSSE approach to posting. Publish (on your own site) Once, Syndicate Elsewhere. I’m writing this on my page and cross-posting elsewhere. IndieWeb has best practices for providing links and references back to the original content but I’m still figuring that out

Ah, this is wonderful! Matt takes us on the quarter-decade journey of his brilliant blog (which chimes a lot with my own experience—my journal turns 25 next year)…
Slowly, slowly, the web was taken over by platforms. Your feeling of success is based on your platform’s algorithm, which may not have your interests at heart. Feeding your words to a platform is a vote for its values, whether you like it or not. And they roach-motel you by owning your audience, making you feel that it’s a good trade because you get “discovery.” (Though I know that chasing popularity is a fool’s dream.)
Writing a blog on your own site is a way to escape all of that. Plus your words build up over time. That’s unique. Nobody else values your words like you do.
Blogs are a backwater (the web itself is a backwater) but keeping one is a statement of how being online can work. Blogging as a kind of Amish performance of a better life.

Is there a #blogging challenge / #writing prompt bot / feed / account out there on Fedi somewhere? The entire #indieweb community could respond to the challenges and it could be fun. The couple of viral blogging challenges that have gone around lately have been fun.

hey folks!
how do you get over the initial awkwardness of trying to find a voice again to blog when it’s been so long?
i’m back up and running with @eleventy and struggling to find my way after months, it feels like i’m starting over, almost.

The bar is in the frickin basement at this point, but browsing random personal websites I cannot believe how refreshing it is to NOT have to do all of these after waiting half a minute for the website to load:
1. Dismiss cookie notice
2. Dismiss automatic Google login prompt
3. Dismiss newsletter sign up prompt
4. Dismiss auto playing video
Instead, pages load *instantly* or in seconds, and I get to:
1. Read the thing I requested
Thank you for maintaining personal sites ❤️
