https://write.as/tttlog/ ? :-)

Part of my answering thusly is to mention that I recently noted my write.as account is still active, and that I even managed to remember its password. Then it occurred to me there might be a way to make that blog look and behave in a way more in accord with how I'd want to blog going forward, key aspects including:

- a set of favorite topics represented by individual posts

- an honest attempt to keep those "topic posts" current, so that old thinking/beliefs are flushed when new thinking/beliefs occurs

So, for example, should I have something to say about politics, instead of simply creating a new post, I'd edit the existing post whose title is "Politics" to contain the current state of beliefs/thinking, as well as whatever new tidbits might seem important to me at the time of writing.

Doing things that way addresses recent beliefs about the non and/or negative value (not to mention administrative burden) of past posts, as well as keeping the blog more a genuine "living" document for not continuing to present "dead weight" of the past.

Something like that.

Go for it

I did categories there for a time. Had a hashtag-oriented list on /about or whatever it was. #tech, #writing, et al

I lost interest in hashtags as fast as I lot interest in "regular" tags for a post when I blogged on WordPress years before. It was mandated by the guy who owned the blog, as they had tags/categories utilized before I worked there, so after hammering through a post, it was tediously typing in the box "this post is about THIS" "this post is about THAT" so a handful of whoever can save a half second find the category they wanted to read whenever they would visit.

Anyway

I'm not "against" tags, I'm just against DOING them, lol
