I too have been throwing messages in bottles into a silent sea for a pretty long time, but I think I'm okay with that. It doesn't help if you also have difficulty adhering to quintessential blog SEO best practices. 1. Consistent theme - A diverse set of interests and a lethal dose of ADD make this virtually impossible 2. Consistent updates - My articles tend to be rather unusual, and I'll often combine them with customized interactive layouts. Even a monthly post would be pretty ambitious for me. On a slightly related note, I'm hoping that zines [1] see a resurgence in popularity as I could see it being a good point of entry towards possibly gaining readership for those whose sites are inadvertently running in stealth mode.

Wow, thanks for link to Paged Out. Any ideas how to discover any more tech focused zines? We have a zine culture in UK but afaik it’s more culture / music focused (v happy to be wrong here)

    Anyone know what happened to NODE? They seemed to have had a good momentum and then went radio silent.

Here is vunderba's site, for anyone who got curious too: https://mordenstar.com/ https://mordenstar.com/ I just skimmed but looks like exactly the content I love. It's a shame search engines are so narrow minded and such content so hard to discover.
