Just an observation, nothing more

As I've been cleaning up blog entries [1] (the first few years also have some pretty bad formatting issues) I've noticed something—I used to write a lot more back then. I think part of that is that the whole “blogging” thing was new, and after twenty-plus years, I've covered quite a bit of material. There have been multiple instances where I come across somthing, think I should blog about that, and when I check to see if I have, indeed blogged about that, I already have. Also, it's a bit more of a pain these days as I manually add links to my blogs at Me­Linked­Insta­My­Face­In­Gram­Space­Book­We. This used to be automated in the past, but Insta­My­Face­Me­Linked­We­In­Gram­Space­Book doesn't play well with others and with constant API (Application Programming Interface) updates and walled garden policies, it's sadly, easier to manually update links than it is to automate it [2] (also this chart [3]). I mean, I don't have to update links at My­Face­Me­Linked­Insta­In­Gram­Space­Book­We, but pretty much everybody just reads Me­Linked­Insta­My­Face­We­In­Gram­Space­Book (Web? What's that?) which is why I bother at all.
