Been thinking hard about blogs again, as I do every few months. I've had a website since at least 1998 and was blogging before I knew there was even a name for it, hand coding pages with dates and entries in HTML. Still maintain my website at https://gregpak.com. Still think of it as the center of my web presence, a place I completely own and control that a fickle billionaire can't easily ruin. Still wonder what it would take to make blogs take off again.

I think this is good for us to be talking about. Grateful for this post!
Long-time irregular blog-keeper. Current site incorporates an old blog and serves both the work stuff and the personal. That wouldn’t suit everybody, certainly. But like you, I’m more reliant on the idea of my own independent web presence than ever, and this is how I’ve come to manage it. https://pdbowman.studio
