I wrote more than 500 posts on my current blog[1], and much more on other blogs I've had. The first advice I give to anyone who wants to blog is to just use wordpress, don't focus on the presentation, just on the content. Once you're like 10 blog posts in, then feel free to move the content elsewhere, but not before. Anything that prevents you from writing content is friction at this point.
Other advice I also give: write short posts and write unfinished posts. If you wanted to write perfect 10/10 content again and again, you should write a book instead. A blog is about low friction to write. People are interested in your thoughts, get them out there.

- walty8 6y agoActually even writing on wordpress.com is a bit too much, sometimes I just can't help but do the text decoration (font size, bold, underline). Nowadays, I write the blogs on the evernote first, it just makes your mind of writing more fluent. (Notepad also works, but you may lose the content accidentally.) Once you got the content, move it to a blog site and put down some cosmetics are just easiest tasks to do.
- powersnail 6y agoNothing will stop me from decorating my text. I do italics and underlines even when writing by hand. It’s a habit that will never die. Personally, minor decorations doesn’t impede my writing by much. What kills productivity, is endless editing while writing the first draft.
