I created a hierarchal view of my blog pages so that I could try to organize this better. This shows why I wish the Pages section of micro.blog was a bit more sophisticated. I took the outline and then gave it to ChatGPT and asked it to recommend a better way to structure it.

@jthingelstad I have to ask: what’s the app you used?

@jaheppler looks like Mindnode

@lukemperez ah thank you!

@jaheppler the only mind mapping app that works for me — MindNode. 👍

@jthingelstad ah, thank you!

@jthingelstad I try to keep as much as possible out of the top level, at least visually, making some things accessible only via a related page. Too much choice at once can confuse a potential reader, I think. One thing in your set-up I adopted recently is a lists page at the top level. 1/

@markstoneman When I did that, I gained a new appreciation for how Micro.blog has pages and redirects on the same page. I could simply rename lists pages to include a lists directory and add a corresponding redirect right away from the same part of Micro.blog. 2/

@markstoneman I could do this, though, because I keep track of the site's structure with a markdown outline, which I began when I moved here last spring. I use this for the site map. The manual process forces me to think about the site's structure whenever I make a change. 3//
