thank you @brentsimmons for your comments about the pessimism around blogging these days. It’s also a motivator for me to push harder on the work I’m taking straight on to give more options for personal blogging https://inessential.com/2019/10/29/you_choose
I think how we define “blogging” is part of the problem. I’m ready to return to “web log” to differentiate between long form writing on the web and just having a personal digital space to do and share your life as you please.
What he does not say is how to find the good ones. I used to get recommendations and for every blog I read I started reading five more but that’s gone, too. But yeah, for a start, it’s nice to have a reminder that good stuff still exists.
#IndieWeb to usher in a new golden age of blogging? I’d like to hope so!
