Why I made a personal blog
I am very eggcited to have a personal blog, a website for myself finally.
Being a solo indie web dev for about 12 years, and making a couple of web apps and websites, it is feeling good and special to have a corner of internet for myself.
I hope to find good online friends, and maybe start collaborating with some of you on my tiny startup (web projects) ideas.
Webrings🕸🕷
I just saw them for the first time a couple of days ago and I loved the idea behind them.
Many people had their personal website and blog (most of them with old school designs) linked together manually, so you could click on a button to visit the next site and that was fascinating.
Webrings = where algorithms don’t decide what website you visit next. You just go surfing web inside 🐰🕳 rabbit holes and it is fun and eye straining 😅
It was the first reason which made me want to have a personal blog
What are webrings? Webrings or rings/loops/groups of people interested on a special subject like “indie web”, “css”, “travel” and linking their websites which are mostly personal websites together. So you can go to the next/prev/random site on the link. Great way to surf the web.
👇The second reason was this Bear...
Bear Blog 🧸
Yeah my bear friend you inspired and motivated me to start a personal blog.
It is amazing that I can have a personal website to showcase my projects and blog at the same time.
I have had a nich wordpress website for years and also browsed many website and blog builders recently, but none of them satisfied me.
I wanted a free, cute, minimal blog builder website which is good enough and Bear had them all.
Why didn’t you code or host a blog yourself?
Because it is my personal blog and I want to be a normal user in someone else platform.
It feels great to be just a user😇
I am a guest hear in Bear not a host. I just 🏖relax, write freely and hit the publish.
and...
It is also great to write/do something without worrying about Seo and Money. I am just writing for me and people who come to know me.
I want to use this blog to showcase my projects and also have a “now” page soon.
🙄 My goal is to make a blog just like “Herman” the BearBlog maker.
Thank you Herman, you have done a great job🤩
😻🎉 Hope to find some good friends here and specially we make something online together
