As the former perpetrator of several hand-coded sites and blogs full of text organized by 52-card-pickup principles, going back to '80s BBS's, online services, USENET, and then Gopher and WWW on a University shared network…

Switching to Wordpress (obLink: https://mdhughes.tech/ ) and slowly reposting the stuff I want visible in an organized, searchable format with a consistent style and a nice CMS is the best possible improvement.

My latest change is a "Starred posts" category, so I can surface the longer, more thought-out pieces and still have ephemeral content like semi-daily music links and status updates.

Manton Reece's http://micro.blog/ is putting Twitter-like interaction under a blog framework, hosted on m.b or on your own site.

Discovery of these things is still hard, and Google's ad-searching site unsurprisingly only surfaces ads, but http://duck.go and social media (like HN) can point you at content you want to see. [ed: sp]
