Blogging
As some may be aware I am quite a quiet fan of blogs and blogging. I like the low profile old school method of posting news information and updates.
No big companies in the background milking our content for the advertising cow. Just ordinary people posting their thoughts and ideas. Sometimes mundane, sometimes informative but always human.

Simple fast and posts all written in Markdown which I really love, thanks Mr Gruber! I have been using Markdown since John released it in the early 2000’s.
One of the things I don’t have on my current setup though is Commenting A couple of reasons but mostly to do with noise and cookie regulations, also self hosted comments would need a DB to be realistic. As I mentioned I don’t want one on my server.
To this end I have been prompting people wishing to comment to do so over on Mastodon. So in the vain I will use this post linked on my Mastodon.
Finally:
As is my wont, here is a little model I made recently:
