Make Blogs Legible Again


Just took a quick look in Discover and saw a bunch of people who either haven’t presented at Micro Camp or I haven’t seen in the chatroom there.

This reflects the way in which Micro.blog has grown in a quiet way, without the founders and enthusiasts yelling at you about it.


For the folks who haven’t been able to attend Micro Camp: don’t worry! Neither have I. Sometimes life works out that way. :)


I need some coffee…


Testing out a new post type for @TIL with this post for Micro Camp.

What do you think; link-blogging on Today I Learned?


Tried to make an OPML file. Yet another thing the iPad can’t do as easily as a computer.


Maybe one of the reasons RSS doesn’t seem to be as popular as we would like is because we’re all hiding the link for the feed.


Now that I’m getting to grips with Micro.blog theming it would be a good time to make a move on that Working Group idea I mentioned a while ago.


Better understanding of Micro.blog templates and Hugo means that @TIL has had its first design-based updates that I was able to batch together. šŸ‘€


The Micro.blog template editor update from… uh, last year?… is so much better than the before times. I think it’s even helping me to gain a basic understanding of how Hugo works.


iA Writer -> Library -> ā€œtilā€ folder -> New Folder -> ā€œdesignā€


I’ve been thinking of ways to use Micro.blog’s granular URL structure for pages for quite some time.

Today I’m finally able to publish the result: New structure for the Links directory via @TIL šŸ˜Ž

Deleting apps from my phone and it feels so so good. 10/10 would recommend


Looking at @pratik’s photos as they go by and super jealous not only of the magnificent shots but also the offline break. šŸ™Œ


Pinch-to-zoom should be universally available on the iPad, in every single app, no matter what part of the app you are in.
