@mxbck My web development blog is now 90% not web development and I love it.

@mxbck Good resolution! I’ve been blogging for 20 years on January 13th, long before I studied or started a professional career in web development. Therefore my blog has almost never web dev content and I guess that’s one of the reasons why I kept doing it for all this time. But besides not limiting myself to a topic, I think the format is also very important: don’t just write long form content in your blog. Also do link posts, short posts or status posts!

@mxbck It’s so intimidating to me revealing much about my personal life for some reason

@mxbck the post I'm most proud of is about mental health. It took me weeks to finish and I've cried at several points, but still very glad that I did. I think very few people actually read it, and even less made it to the end, but just writing it down helped me in so may ways. Now I intend to write more often about things we don’t talk enough about, both about webdev and not. If you’re interested: https://timseverien.com/posts/2022-07-21-lessons-learned-from-burnout/

@mxbck Thanks for this. I wonder if it’s best to stick to 2-3 categories; otherwise, how to organize/ structure the blog if the posts are all over the place? Maybe a blog of random thoughts with related tags (and two main categories, professional and personal) 🤔
