Evil Author Day : mes brouillons abandonnés, my abandoned drafts

Sara a parlé d’Evil Author Day l’an dernier et je me suis gardé l’idée bien au chaud depuis. Le concept : le 15 février, on balance nos idées et brouillons en public sans la moindre intention de les finir. Si quelqu’un veut reprendre les infos et idées, n’hésitez surtout pas : de mon côté, si…

Likes Are There Ethics to Blogging?. Relatable: To my delight, I learned that writing my own version of someone else’s idea is totally fine, as long as I give them a shout-out for the inspiration. Having someone do the reverse for me is high praise

POSSE photos

One of the biggest gaps in my current website-first approach to social media is an inability to snap a picture and quickly post it. I’ve wanted to tackle this for a while, but an upcoming cool vacation has me thinking I should really go for it. Likes Spencer Greenhalgh. Tout pareil. Je suis un peu…

What I do is actually content

Countless blog posts and videos have been telling me not to call what we do « content ». Devastatia wrote an almost-apology for talking about content when she’s talking about other people’s blogs. I understand why some would think they deserve better than that term − but I firmly believe that what I do is,…

Re:RSS feeds or blogs?

Replied to Reading Indie Blogs Right (thoughts.uncountable.uk)

Loren put out an interesting post on why he prefers not to use an RSS reader: […] I did a post a few weeks back about why I’d actually prefer if you read my posts in RSS than the website itself.

Liked Not Who I Want To Be by Nadreck (nadreck.me)

Jay has a recent post up called “Not The Sort Of Person I Want To Be Online“, and it strikes pretty close to home. It’s worth the click, in my opinion. It opens with:

Styling internal and external links

Replied to Styling the external links on this site (Rach Smith’s digital garden)

One nice side-effect of doing this #WeblogPoMo2024 challenge is that I’m forced to look at my website every day, and I’m inspired to make little changes to it.

Love that styling external links is becoming more of a thing! 🙂 The « preview on hover » thing is something I have enabled on Wikipedia a real long time ago and I can’t browse that site without it anymore… but I never thought of doing it on my own blog. Hmm… maybe this should…

openheart protocol installed!

I have now installed the Openheart protocol to my blog, which means you can click the little heart emoji and it will make me happy. (Nothing else.) Huge thanks to Tracy for her step-by-step tutorial, I only had to find where to put the code snippet in my theme (which is very different from hers)…
