Long Form Posting in a Microblogging Environment

Over the years, I have hopped from publishing platform to platform in search of the best solution for my meager blogging needs. After spending time in Movable Type, Typepad, Blogger, Ghost, and Wordpress, I’m now using micro.blog for my personal electronic publishing needs.

I am aware of and working on getting the colors changed for the conversation login window on individual posts. I never noticed the issue since I use the Dark Reader Chrome extension (which renders it appropriately) but it is borderline unreadable without that or a similar extension.

EDIT: Fixed (thanks Matt Langford, theme author)

I’m not going to lie. Cross-posting from micro.blog to Masto is a bit confusing. In an ideal world, I would love to be able to cross-post single posts as desired but that only appears to work to cross-post to Threads, Bluesky, or Shitter.

Others do it, so I just need to figure it out.

Small Community Support

After having been around support communities for products with large amounts of users for many years, I have found the differences in the level of support available for smaller communities to be interesting. Level can be defined in a couple of ways, namely quality and quantity.

First!

So…

This is the latest incarnation of my website. It is hosted by micro.blog and it has some nifty functionality. One of the main things I like about the setup is that I can post both pages and posts from #obsidian, which is insanely helpful. micro.blog is also very fast which is great to see.

I’ll post updates as the #site progresses. I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do with this setup.
