In the process of "rebranding" my web development guide.

Renamed it to "clean web dev guide", instead of just "web dev guide".

Thinking the penguin also has to go, but with what?

Maybe soap, but I like using animals. Maybe I should just keep the penguin? But I don't want any associations with Linux.

hope you enjoy the book. it has a ton of stories about the dialup era especially. :D

I really need to find more people who do link dumps! I love them because I find some human writers blogging about random stuff. If you do link dumps, link roundups, please tell me.

"If a reader finds one indie blog they love, they might find more on the blogroll. Blogrolls are the IndieWeb’s version of an algorithm. They keep people exploring new blogs that they probably wouldn’t have found otherwise."
