blog advice #

make it readable #

• please dont use white text on a black background. it’s not pretty and horrible to read
• please dont use monospace fonts for longer sections of text that arent code/etc, especially dont use “blocky” monospace fonts
• use sensible spacing/margins/line height. dont let text span from left to right displayedge with no margin
• please look at your blog on a mobile phone at least once

discoverability #

• there are webrings, aggregator sites, blog search engines, etc etc
• have an rss feed, it should be full text

misc #

• i dont like this terminal-inspired hugo theme. yes it looks cool, but the readability is bad. im sorry, use a different font plsss
• please dont use medium. just dont. if you want a free hosted thing just make a tumblr, everything is better than medium
