blippy's post "Blogging discovery"
My blog index is stored in /blog.gmi, for example. Another site was in /posts.gmi.
I personally used posts.gmi and gemlog.gmi, at the moment I put the posts in my index file. You can't really decide on an agreement here, as people call their blogs in many different ways: gemlogs, glogs, etc. and name the file in that respective way too.
blog_regular: /blog.gmi
blog_mini: /chirps.gmi
blog_micro: /twtxt.gmi
We'd need yet another file created for this metadata. I'd suggest making one big file for all the metadata, which would merge with security.txt, perhaps info.txt? If not I guess blippy's variant suffices.
As for the names and types of "blogs", I'd propose:
Both tinylogs and twtxt files fit in the micro blogging category, so I see no reason to create a third one.
blog: /blog.gmi
microblog: /tiny.gmi
Now there'd be a problem if the respective person has both a tinylog and twtxt, perhaps we could introduce some kind of separation into the entry, something along the lines of:
microblog: /tiny.gmi /twtxt.txt
Not a programmer, but there are not infinite terms for blogs out there, so could just put them all into an array (blog, glog, gemlog etc.) and make the program auto discover the gmi file by using its title from index.gmi and we'd avoid all of this.
