Ask HN: How to write better tech blogs
I have a blog but it seems most people who are with my content hardly like it.
I had a review recently that said I write like a person with ADHD.
All I am asking for is a guide. What to start with. Length.
I usually blog about vim which I started using 3-4months ago.

- Turboblack 2y agoas an example https://elpis.ws https://elpis.ws now to the point, what is needed: 1. respect the reader, write interestingly. 2. write as you think is necessary, do not bend to fashion 3. no advertising! no social components 4. only RSS subscription no other methods 5. reading should be like in old magazines, so that the reader really gets the impression that he is reading old magazines, and not an advertising catalog thats it :=)
