I had my blog for two decades now.
- Make it a PERSONAL website. Not a brand, not a content marketing experiment, just a place where I post things that I'm interested in.
- Publish and finish. Post things and improve them over time. I now have "timeless posts" above the more ephemeral posts.
- Sometimes chronological order is not enough.
- wscp-dev 3y agocould you elaborate on your second point? As in, are there any specific ways you sort posts other than chronologically?
- nicbou 3y agohttps://nicolasbouliane.com/blog/digital-gardening https://nicolasbouliane.com/blog/digital-gardening I like the metaphor of a digital garden. A garden is a work in progress, not a finished product. I publish things and refine them over time. Sorting posts by publishing date does not make sense if they get complete rewrites on occasion. I have a "timeless posts" section above the stream for posts that are always worth a read. I also have sections for projects and recipes. The website I live for is organised more like a knowledge base. I also review the content there frequently, even though I publish infrequently. You can find a link in my profile.
- wscp-dev 3y agoAhh, true. I need to find a way to add sorting by recent updates to my site.
