I see a lot of blog evangelism, so I'd thought i'd do one for wikis. If you want to put stuff on the interwebs but find the serialised blog format not really your thing, try a wiki! Basically, each page represents a topic that is gradually added to and edited as you find more things to say, instead of being tied to a specific date.

Personally, probably bc of adhd, dates don't mean much to me, something I haven't touched for 3 years is as relevent as anything else, so I find wikis useful.

@cxxvii Hard agree! Blogs are great, but trying to fit *everything* into a serial format is nuts.

I have played with both formats for a long time but recently went back to wikis. I use DokuWiki so I don't need to mess with databases (all text and MarkUp in the background). But there is a blog extension so it kind of let's me play in both worlds. https://igazine.com for my ramblings...

@stunder @cxxvii Nice! By wild coincidence, I installed DokuWiki two weeks ago. (Previous experience with it was over a decade ago.) It was like revisiting a weird old friend in their weird old house.

I LOVE that DokuWiki is still being maintained and being used for all sorts of things like this!

@cxxvii I have a blog which is exactly me researching a topic, and posting snippets of findings as I go. You are right; a Wiki would be a much better match for that.

And maybe I can self-host using FreedomBox, which has MediaWiki one click away.

Thanks!

@cxxvii That's a good point! I need to rethink my pages.

@cxxvii I root for wikis, too! Installed the AP-enabled Ibis wiki software and am stoked.
