The New Writing Playbook
Okay so I know blogging is quite outdated so might as well figure out some guidelines going forward.
- No comments There were good comments back in the day but these days its too much of a hassle to maintain. A contact form or twitter should be enough.
- SEO'ish If you use a CMS these days you get this for free. Don't stress too much about it and write like you just don't care, your people will find you.
- Minimal tracking No Google Analytics, something more privacy preserving just to see the areas of interest.
- No ads never really liked them myself so why push it on my readers. No ads but I might have another plan.
It would be nice to make some money with words ... 🤔
So my evil plan is to make money, so I can buy more plastics and mess up the world (not).
The money would help pay the hosting bill and move to a better platform so I don't have to tweak so many things and just write.
