There's apparently some interest in me posting dev logs about my space game so I feel like a blog is the best way to do it (I don't want to have to put my nerd voice up in videos), how the heck do people do blogs nowadays? do I host my own domain and use wordpress? probably idk sounds like a vector for attack tho

my understanding is that people use twitter and make hundreds of tweets in order to easily present information in the worst format known to humankind

You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

I very infrequently blog on my uni homepage, which is a hugo site and thus an enormous pain in the rear end at every turn so I rarely do it anymore, so unless you really want to customise every aspect of it I wouldn't recommend that path

yeah was gonna suggest this or sdf but maybe sdf is too low-tech and you'd want something with, like, a way to subscribe to new effortposts or something :shrug:

from what I can tell it’s vital that whatever service you use display only like two words per line, take 30 secs to load, and require constant scrolling

i know a lot of ppl post some cool effort posts on cohost. You could use that.

I think blogger is still around if you want something more bloggy than twittery

Wix is another option. Like actually there are lots of options still you just need to decide what kind of things you want.

well I registered a domain and set up on GitHub pages for now. apparently the tls cert or whatever hasn’t gone through so it says “not secure” in every web browser but I suppose it doesn’t matter because im just going to serve up static pages? any security stuff I should know before going public

well anyway I have a place for my blog now.

I have the same problem. I blogged on github and it was not good. I just want a dumb static web page. I don’t even want a domain really

crimecommitter.com is served up from github and it’s fine once I got it going. j290 gave me urls or something which helped

it’s not static but everything is client side so no comms back to the server which makes it easier I assume

youd use a static site generator locally and then have that publish the results as either a single page or all the files to a repo configed for github.io

I used to use openshift because they used to give you a gig of storage for free, and this was super useful to me for a while, above and beyond what heroku offered, but I think they axed that part of the service completely lol

I’d prolly use GitHub as a cheap and lazy option too yeah. or cohost or sdf or tumblr or medium or w/e lol

use sdf silver alicorn. whether you want to do a static page generator deal or gopher and then use an http translator is up to you though

fwiw my personal website is a static generator and github pages rather than sdf

yes you can have nudity again but supposedly not actual in-the-act porn (though I get at least a pornblog a day following full of closeup going-in gifs etc)
