I really need to sit down and figure out what I am gonna do with my microblog.. Is anyone else using it for their full time blog? If so, can we see examples? : sergio101.micro.blog

@sergio\_101 I am. 😀

@sergio\_101 Mine are one and the same.

@sergio\_101 Let me know if you have any questions. I use Micro.blog for my main blog, with 3000 posts going back 17 years.

@sergio\_101 Same thoughts here, I’ve a „normal“ blog and this micro.blog here. Still struggling what to do. I like to have my own playground where I can test out some design, Indieweb techniques and other things. But also I really have to much other things to do and what @manton created here is really great and could easily be my main blog – if I’m not trying to play to much 😀

@renem I recommend micro.blog for that very reason. You can either just have it work and do nothing, or when you have time you can customise until your hearts content.

@manton's committment to building a space as an "open garden" with accessible APIs and theming mean sky is limit

@manton so is manton.org your full time blog? I am also trying to figure out if blogging makes sense for me.. Like most everyone, I have overlappting interests that most people might night care about.

@sergio\_101 Yes, it's my primary blog. Some people create separate blogs for different interests, but personally I like just posting everything to one place because it helps me not overthink where something should go.

@manton is it an extra service to forward a domain to my micro blog?

@sergio\_101 No, it's included in the Micro.blog hosting. There's a help page here with more details.

@skysandison I really need to set up my microblog page so it makes sense.. and so that all my stuff collected here. Maybe this weekend.

@jgmac1106 I need to start lookign at the APIs and the layout options.. Thanks!

@sergio\_101 Primary site. I find that it's the best way to post small ideas/thoughts and photos. Longer ideas can obviously be posted here, but I've not gotten into that habit yet (although now that I own MarsEdit maybe that can change as well)

@kaa OH! i have an OLD MarsEdit license. I should try messing with it..

@manton is there a guide somewhere on setting up the blog? I am really just interested in creating a meaningful menu.

@sergio\_101 Hmm, there should be a guide for that! But right now there isn't... Short version is: click Posts → Pages on the web and you can add new pages there that automatically appear in the navigation of your blog.

@manton Any idea on how we can change the name of the Photos page? We can edit it but no way to save the new name.

@pratik I've fixed this to add an "Update Page" button so you can rename Photos (and also About and Archive).

@manton Perfect. Thanks.
