Getting personal colinwalker.blog
@colinwalker Good call. I find traditional blogs that are a mix of topical and personal a bit more interesting and would like to see more people get back to that.
@colinwalker It’s your blog: write about whatever you want to write about, obviously. Lately you’ve mainly been blogging about (micro-) blogging, which is fine. That’s what’s on your mind. But people will still read if you include other subjects.
@devilgate You’re absolutely right but it still feels awkward some times. I’ll get there. Eventually. 🤞
I’m a fan of this approach too. Maybe a change of site name, even just to your own name (or something that doesn’t tie you to a particular focus), would help you to feel free enough of what you’ve done before to write more personally and broadly. Although he’s not writing there at the moment, one of my favourite online writers, Sid O’Neill, has an eclectic personal site called Crate of Penguins. I always thought that was such a cool, niche-defying name.
