I think the Frontlines series might be a good read while I wait for the last two books in the The Expanse series.
Better writing fundamentals by Nicholas Bate.
Finally got my freelance website moved over from Ghost to Jekyll. š
More jagged thoughts from NB
A refreshing thought from Nicholas Bate.
We feel we need to add. In fact so often we need to simplify, to reduce, to let go of. We actually need to subtract.
Be nice if feed readers like Feedbin could detect similar headlines for the last couple of days and bunch them together. Yeah, I could follow less feeds as well, but whereās the fun in that!
I wasnāt aware of Monzoās VC funding. However, Iām still closing my account now that their pre-paid card is shutting down.
Iāve been playing with Wordpress again over the last few days. So much more going for it than any other blogging platform Iāve used. Wonder if itās time to move from Ghost to Wordpress?
Looks like Iāve for a few updates to do over the weekend. Bootstrap 4 is here!
Considering some blog changes
Iām considering a few changes in the way I blog.
Micro.blog for personal stuff, quotes, snippets, links and the like.
Ghost for longer posts on working, ideas, products and writing.
It should be noted that Micro.blog was the trigger for this whole thing. A streamlined way of publishing small or large updates and then syndicating them through to other social networks and blogs. Damn itās good at that.
Iāve started to think that my Ghost blog should be more of a professional site than anything else. I think thatās what itās lacking. Longer posts that Iāve taken the time to write.
Curtis McHaleās blog is a great example of a professional site used for such a purpose.
My blogging habits have changed. From posts that are a mix of personal and work on the one blog, to using two blogs for a mix of both. Now Iām seeing that one blog is more for personal stuff and the other is for things Iām working on and working towards. The work stuff, the professional stuff. The boundaries arenāt clear on this at the moment though, but I think they should be.
@patrickrhone has a similar setup. A professional site and a personal micro-blog.
Iām 90% sold on the idea. The thought of moving more content around isnāt appealing though. It would be worth it in the end though. Right?
