Blogging

Blogs are, in many ways, the child of BBS culture and mailing lists. They are a unique innovation on that model, allowing each person to control their part of the conversation on their own machine and software while still being tied to a larger conversation through linking, [[backlinks]], tags, and RSS feeds.

Kind of the idea that you are following a person, not a blog. I'm sure Ton or someone else on the IndieWeb has mentioned that before.

[[Ton]] has talked before about the barriers to blogging and ways to navigate them in his post on blogging more.

Blogging together

I think when we talk about โ€œ[[networked communities]]โ€ thatโ€™s one of the ideas weโ€™re getting at: that we can be part of multiple communities at once, with shared, partially overlapping sets of interests. And that we can do this while tending our own digital garden, without having to maintain accounts on a dozen different third-party platforms.

Iโ€™m hoping that starting up a few will lower the psychological barriers to publishing and give me some momentum to continue posting more regularly.

[[Blogchains]] as a way of lowering barriers to [[blogging]].

And networks canโ€™t self-sustain without participation - so maybe the best argument for blogging is not because itโ€™s good for you but because itโ€™s good forโ€ฆ us?
