Article writing rules

These are the rules I’ve set for myself on here.

Any length. One word or 30000 pages. Never ever be driven by length when making these posts. Say what I wanted to say.
Go back and revise after posting if I find mistakes or things I wanna change. Like a one-person wiki.
Slugs are king. A slug (the part after the slash in the URL) represents my canonical thoughts on that idea. I can go back and revise the page many times. A big enough rewrite will get a new timestamp and go in the feeds again. (So far this has never happened but it’s allowed.) This, too, is a “wiki”-like attitude.
A niche post, such as a reply or a hot take, needs a longer slug to reduce collisions. Or have the “re-”.
