See gwern.net for a nice knowledge-base style website. The problem with knowledge bases is there's a significant overlap with wikipedia: there should be a reason the information isn't in a public wiki. Usually personal research of experiences, I think. I think the blog format is simply the easiest to organize (with tags helping it), but I do think many bloggers would benefit from writing a knowledge base of personal research (but it is a lot more work than writing a blog post and letting search engines take care of discoverability for you).
- bnralt 4y agoI agree about gwern.net, that's actually one of the first things that popped into my mind. A lot of personal sites from academia still follow this approach as well (see Don Knuth's page[1], for example). In the early days of the web, most personal sites were like that (and most were hosted on university sites). There wasn't this idea that you should be producing a constant stream of thoughts on the hot topic of the day.
