Colin Walker on what he gets from blogging
Colin Walker, on his personal blog (which is looking sharp as ever) about what he gets from blogging in public: “I feel compelled to write, to share, and there is an intense satisfaction in doing so. The sharing is a secondary but essential aspect; while journalling is a rewarding process it doesn’t fill the same…

Simon Reynolds on blogging
Simon Reynolds, in December, marking the 20th anniversary of Blissblog: I honestly can’t see that anyone has invented a better format than the blog, at least for what I want to do. Simon’s entire post is dripping with flattering remarks about how enjoyable and rewarding blogging is. Those of us in the 20+ year blogging…

Take care of your blog
Robin Rendle: There will be lonely, barren years of no one looking at your work. There will be blog posts that you adore that no one reads and there’ll be blog posts you spit out in ten minutes that take the internet by storm. Checks out. I blog a lot. I’ve blogged for decades. And…

Tom MacWright on blogging
Tom MacWright: There just aren’t as many active blogs as there were in the past. I think this has amplified the benefits of blogging: you can make more of an impact and create more of an identity with a blog than you can with Twitter or any siloed social network. I was just having this…

Number of posts per month: Total: 420 See 2020. I posted more to my blog in 2021 than 2020. As I said in my review post, I need to sit down and give a hard think to what my goals for 2022 will be, but I do hope they include sharing more here on my…

Pure – A minimal theme for Micro.blog
Chris Hannah: I’ve named it Pure, and that’s mainly because I wanted very minimal styling, and to have it be a pure version of a theme. For the benefit of it acting as a “starter” theme for people that want to maybe want to start tweaking a theme but don’t want to start from scratch. But also for…

Micro.blog adds Flickr support
Manton Reece: This is for people who have a Flickr account that has gone unused, but who know there’s value on Flickr if only it was easier to remember to use it. Nice simple feature. I’m sure many will dig it. Glad to see Flickr being added to anything these days. All Flickr fans should…

Happy belated Anniversary to Jeremy Keith’s blog. Jeremy Keith: Many’s the blogger who has let the weeds grow over their websites as they were lured by the siren song of centralised social networks.

Dave Rupert on blog post hits
Dave Rupert: Two posts that I thought would be bangers got nearly zero reach. The inverse law of blogging strikes again! The Surprise Chain is a post I quite literally worked on for over six years, but it got under a thousand hits. CSS Modules-in-CSS Module Scripts did a little better but I’m not cashing any blogging…

Jim Grey: It’s time for my annual list of film photography blogs!

Micro.blog open sources iOS and Mac apps
Manton Reece: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the longevity of Micro.blog and where we need help to continue to grow the platform and community. As we approach 4 years since the public launch, there are some parts of the platform and supporting services that should be shared more widely, so that I’m not…

Julia Evans \”Blog about what you’ve struggled with\”
Julia Evans: I think this approach is effective because if I struggled with something, there’s a pretty good chance that other people are struggling with it too, and what I learned is likely to be useful to at least some of them! This type of blogging has been a door opener for me. I’ve written…

Cory Doctorow writes about 20 years of blogging
Here are a few bits from Cory Doctorow’s Medium post on blogging: The genius of the blog was not in the note-taking, it was in the publishing. The act of making your log-file public requires a rigor that keeping personal notes does not. Writing for a notional audience — particularly an audience of strangers — demands…

Robin Rendle on blog post titles
Robin Rendle: I love it when blog post titles are indecipherable to search engines. There are exceptions, like when you want to document a technical thing and so you should have a blog post title describe that but the majority of the time I feel like blog post titles should sound like the chapters of…

Introducing the Micro.blog Posting Bookmarklet
Recently there was a discussion on Micro.blog about having a bookmarklet that made it simple to post a link to a page you were viewing. And while there are solutions and workarounds, I didn’t see that there was a standard bookmarklet to do this. So now there is. The Micro.blog Posting Bookmarklet does two simple…

A few quick notes about building Micro.blog themes
It took me just a few days to convert the Cypress WordPress theme for use on Micro.blog. Since the layout, design, and styling for most elements was already done – the main work was learning Micro.blog’s theming model and moving the code bits around. I thought it would be a good opportunity to jot down…

Christian McGregor on blogging our choices
Christian McGregor, in response to my photo library management workflow post: I appreciate the effort people take to post things like this. Every post adds to the pool of knowledge to help avoid easily made but difficult to change mistakes, like Colin’s own findings when depending on Apple Photos as the main tool. I appreciate that Christian…

Micro.blog launches Discourse help center
Manton Reece: The idea is to use the web forums software Discourse and combine it with all the content from our original help site. This looks like it will be very helpful.

James Michie’s tips for blogging
James Michie, 10 years ago, wrote a post about what he had learned after a year of blogging. Then, this year, he wrote a very short post to revisit and update that list. He wrote: Ten years on and most of the points in the above post still hold up. Except for number nine, that…

Lucy Bellwood on blogging
Lucy Bellwood: Some of it is using an RSS reader to change the cadence and depth of my consumption—pulling away from the quick-hit likes of social media in favor of a space where I can run my thoughts to their logical conclusion (and then sit on them long enough to consider whether or not they’re…

The most important blog
Seth Godin: Even if no one but you reads it. The blog you write each day is the blog you need the most. It’s a compass and a mirror, a chance to put a stake in the ground and refine your thoughts. And the most important post? The one you’ll write tomorrow. His post is…

Matt Webb’s 15 rules for blogging
Matt Webb finds himself on a bit of a tear on his personal blog: I’ve now been writing new posts for 24 consecutive weeks. Multiple posts a week. How on earth? I just calculated it, and I’ve added the live streak count to the site footer. I wonder how long I can keep it up.…

Austin Kleon reflects on 15 years of blogging
Austin Kleon: Every time I start a new post, I never know for sure where it’s going to go. This is what writing and making art is all about: not having something to say, but finding out what you have to say. It’s thinking on the page or the screen or in whatever materials you…

My favorite #bisect photos from Micro.blog
This month Micro.blog is having a photo challenge to help spur some posts and creativity from the growing community there. When Jean asked for recommendations I threw bisect at her and she accepted it as one of the themes. I thought I’d cull some of the posts as favorites. The first photo is just beyond…

Tim Bray on blogging
Tim Bray: But aren’t blogs dead? · Um, nope. Also, this bit: Since most of us don’t even try to monetize ’em, they’re pretty ad-free and thus a snappy reading experience. I’ve successfully monetized niche blogs in the past that made enough for a few incomes. I’ve only tried to monetize my personal blog a…

Chris Coleman has a blog
Chris Coleman: Eventually I ran out of steam, life changed a bit, and the vacuum that this site filled in my day was filled by other things. I was 23 when I started this site. I’m 41 now. A lot has happened in 18 years, but somehow it doesn’t feel like a long time has…

I too miss the old days of blogging but they are never coming back
TTTThis: When you search for blogs now on you see things like ‘Top 100 Blogs.’ ‘How to Make a Successful Blog.’ ‘Most Powerful 50 Blogs.’ But what you really want is 10,000 unsuccessful blogs. Much of the linked piece is likely to be taken as hyperbole but it is mostly true-ish. It is true that…
