Badly apparently, looks like it makes for prose people avoid. Now the thing is... with the widespread suspicion, some people might be wrongfully flagged as using LLM to write their posts.

I like this idea. It'd be nice if more websites felt like little town squares.

Good point indeed, need to review my own feed next time I get the chance.

It's not complicated, and a good thing to do.

We collectively should reach out more to blog authors indeed. Not for kudos but to feed each other through conversations. That's how we collectively learn and improve.

The stats are clear there. Beside in term of experience, RSS feeds are so superior to newsletters... I wish more bloggers would give up on the newsletter focus. There's also a good point in this post: as soon as you have a newsletter you will sit on a database of email addresses, it's definitely a liability.

Also, it's likely a pessimistic estimate... Indeed, it's mostly based on a list from Kagi, which likely doesn't list many sites which would qualify.

Looks like an interesting tool to check you're doing "everything right" on your blog. That said, it looks like quite a few hoops to jump through. I wish there'd be a way to make all this a bit easier.

Looks like a nice tool to help people to get into RSS.

Get out and write indeed. You can fiddle with the tools later.

Wondering where Markdown is coming from and how it became such a success? The piece helps answer those questions.

These extensions look really neat for discovering Mastodon and RSS feed. I think I'll check them out.

This would probably be a good thing indeed. We'll see of the web culture will evolve next.

This is nice to see the energy still bubbling in the traditional web. It's still there, next to the big mall pushed by search engines. You just need to know where to look and it's not that hard.

A bit cynical at times, but shows tricks to improve the writing and style of blog posts. If I ever find the time to write something sizeable again I guess I'll try some of them.

Wow, the atmosphere looks fairly toxic at Automattic right now. It felt like it was just about the trademark dispute but clearly the craziness is running much deeper. This is concerning for WordPress future I think.

Definitely this. Get the content you like known, send appreciation messages to the authors. This should keep the moribund web alive.

Lots of ideas indeed. Having your own website gives so much freedom in what you can do there.

Good explanation of what RSS is, where its weaknesses and strengths are.

Definitely true. This is a good way to share your feeds with friends or to setup a blogroll.

Excellent piece about the resurgence of old trends on the web.

Good continuation of "where have all the websites gone?". They're still here but we changed, all the more reason for curating.

This is in part why I started my web review... maybe I should start a kind of blogroll, or maybe have links to websites I like straight on my front page.

Very funny hack for a blog comment system.

Looks like a nice way to ease the use of webmentions. Also comes with a command line option not relying on third party hosted service apparently.

Definitely true... never had use for more than the server logs for understanding the traffic on my blog. No need to invade the privacy of people through their browser.

There was definitely something we lost from the early days of the web. It was not perfect, far from it, but some of that spark is missing.

Hopefully this becomes true. I wouldn't mind a post-Social Media era of the Web.

I admit I miss webrings indeed. They were great to discover new blogs with nice content.

Another testament to the fact that it's probably better to have minimal dependencies on your webpages. This is especially true for documents if you're aiming for longevity. If you're making an actual application the trade-off will be different.

This is nice to see how easy it is to make sure a WordPress blog appears on the Fediverse. Hopefully will bring lots of activity.

This is a huge thing for the ferdiverse. Let's see where this leads.

Interesting tidbit of the RSS standard. Probably worth putting such GUIDs early on.

This is a funny spammer deterrent. I like the idea.

All the good reasons to have a blog. This is why I keep maintaining mine.

It's definitely tempting me to switch my blog comments to the fediverse as well.

Definitely a neat trick to have a slick RSS feed with a nice experience from the browser.

I must resist to redesign my blog I guess... In any case, this is a very nice style for content.

Good reminder that links are the soul of the world wide web!

Let's hope it's one good resolution for 2023 that plenty will go for. We need blogs to be back, massively. It would be better for everyone.

Woa, that's definitely welcome. A strong list of blogs to use in your feed aggregator. Time to explore.

OK, super tiny and simple. This looks like a nice alternative for the big ones like Jekyll or Hugo.
