After a few days of exploring and tinkering with a couple different static site generators, I've decided to go with #Hugo. It's hosted on Github Pages. I'm in the process of moving old posts from Scribbles over there. It's pretty bare bones for now but I'll be learning, customizing, and adding more in the coming weeks and months.

I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.

To follow through on my pledge to do more of my #internet reading on the #indieweb, I've been visiting random blogs using this site and adding any interesting ones to an #RSS feed.

My intention is to browse this feed much the same way I would the news -call it a self-care practice. I want to spend more time in reflection and less in panic. I also want to get ideas for, perhaps, my own blog someday.
