  • Use a custom domain name

    Please, for the love of all things web-related, if you decide to do anything online, get yourself a domain name. Don’t rely on the 3rd party domain provided by services like Blogger, Substack, Tumblr, whatever. Yes, it’s an extra cost but owning your URLs is important. If Substack dies tomorrow, all your fancy-cool-name.substack.com URLs are gone. And all the links scattered across the web that were pointing to them are now broken. So, again, please, get yourself a domain name when you create content for the web. And don’t forget that “Cool URIs don’t change“.

    Manuel Moreale spiega perchè usare un proprio dominio online; sono pienamente d’accordo con il suo pensiero. Io sto cercando di eliminare i vari social per postare solo qui; ora anche su Tumblr si possono acquistare i domini visto che è controllata da Automattic l’azienda che possiede wordpress.

  • Get blogging

    Skoobz – On having a blog

    I feel a sense of peace of mind here. Where social media feels like a busy commercial area, full of flashing lights and noise, this is more like a quiet home in a quiet neighborhood. All of these things are why I’m an advocate of owning your own webspace. Largely, because it’s your own webspace. Not Meta’s, not Twitter’s (or whatever the fuck they’ll call themself in 24 hours), nobody else. It’s yours. Own it.

    For these reasons, create your blog now!

  • Blog from the phone

    Lee Peterson, AKA LJPUK on How to blog more from your smartphone.

    First thing is remove all of your social media apps to a second home page or the App Library.
    Second is put your blogging app on your main Home Screen.
    That’s it.
    Post your thoughts to your blog first.

    In questi ultimi tempi anche io sto postando sempre più spesso da telefono (circa il 60% delle volte);

    In questa citazione di Lee Peterson c’è anche il declino dei social media, infatti consiglia di spostare in seconda pagina tutte le app social; nella mia homepage è rimasto solo Tumblr, io sto utilizzando i social solo per condividere i miei articoli.
