@Gabz in which platform do you have your website?

@Gabz β€œif you give a mouse a cookie.” I slip into this mode of doing things as-well and think is it partially (or completely?) a form of procrastination. Or maybe a fear of starting something else that we will eventually quit? Either way, I think your statement of doing it for yourself is key.

@aa I think (in my case) is mostly fear. Fear of that it won't be good enough, fear of criticism or being called out. Impostor syndrome...

@Gabz how do you have the link on micro-blog and the entire post on your domain? I would like to know how to do it.

@Gabz yeah, valid. You have a unique view of things that no one else has because they are not you...so I definitely say do it!

On the podcast/microcast front, I have done things on all ends of the spectrum. Recording on my iPhone, recording via a usb mic, up to my latest of recording with multiple mics into a soundboard. As I tend to do, I am rethinking everything and desperately want to get back to just using my β€œphone” for things. It forces simplicity.

@w3bk3rn3l I guess I don't quite understand your question. By the link, you mean the Link Emoji before the tittle or how did I link to Jeff's post? By the entire post you mean how I composed it?

@Gabz I am talking about this post here on micro.blog. This is just a short sentence with a link to the complete post on your site.

@aa right! I think that's another fear of mine, all I want to do is just talk to my phone but then it tur"Oh what if the audo quality isnt good", "Do I need a mic?" , "How do i edit?"...etc..

@w3bk3rn3l Oh! I see. Well since it's hosted in micro.blog, Mb does it for me. I either post from the Micro.blog app itself, or from the Drafts app, which I have an action to post to micro.blog, sometimes even use the website to compose and post from it. Basically you should have your own feed, if that makes sense. I wonder if this is something done by default, I forgot. // @manton

@w3bk3rn3l okay, That should have been the short answer, just make sure your post has a tittle I guess.

@w3bk3rn3l @Gabz As long as you have a title and your post exceeds 280 characters, Micro.blog will put your title and link to your full post in the timeline.
