Chris,

I was wondering if this could be done more generally. I managed to do something similar here for a category so that I could post with that category from micro.blog. Not sure if something similar could be done for post kinds I couldn’t figure it out.

Replied to 12 Tips For Maintaining Momentum With Blogging by Aaron DavisAaron Davis (Read Write Collect)
Closing off the 28 day blogging challenge, Kathleen Morris provides a list of strategies for maintaining momentum. On the flip side, Aaron Hogan provides a list of blogging rules that you do not have to follow. These include the idea that blogs need to look a certain way or be perfect. 10 Blogging R...

I feel more encouraged by the second list although there are some good ones in the first one too.

The idea of rules or the need to “maintain your blogging” seem staring to me.

Blog when it is fun or of value to you else don’t, works for me.

This sounds really promising Chris.

Hi Aaron,

My class dipped their toes in minetest recently: Christmas Challenge 1 – Minetest – Banton Biggies.

Setting up a local server was really simple. I managed to get the class having a little fun without really knowing much. These types of games are always a bit daunting for non-gamers like myself but the low entry barrier means I can tread carefully. I’d be interested to see what other schools are  doing with minetest and the similarities and differences with minecraft.

...I think that I would probably describe myself as a non-financial supporter?...

Aaron,

We have been here before but the phrase

non-financial supporter

clicked for me. Hopefully by being a good web citizen: bookmarking, sharing, commenting (if the author wishes replied), discussing, bug reporting, pull requesting supports folk who we value online?

Liked Remembering the past through photos (Doug Belshaw's Thought Shrapnel)
A few weeks ago, I bought a Google Assistant-powered smart display and put it in our kitchen in place of the DAB radio.

Doug talks about he power of pulling out old photos. I like the on this day bit of my phone’s phones and the ability to find out what I was doing a year(or years) ago. I’ve been finding my On This Day page on this blog fascinating and would highly recommend anyone to try it out. I don’t suppose having it public is necessary as it will only be of interest to me.
