I've been seeing some good posts recently, like these ones from [Andy Bell](https://andy-bell.co.uk/bring-back-blogging/), [Chris Coyier](https://chriscoyier.net/2022/12/26/bring-back-blogging/), and [Sophie Koonin](https://localghost.dev/blog/building-a-website-like-it-s-1999-in-2022/), about using a blog as a real "base" for your place on the web, and then following the [POSSE principle](https://indieweb.org/POSSE) for everywhere else.
I like that idea - this is the one part of the web I have the most control over. It's already partially-federated (with some improvements coming this way in the near future). I just need to set up some more syndication tools using IFTTT, and then I think I'll be good to go.
I'd like to add a second post format too, for shorter-form posts that I'd normally have written for Twitter - as well as making it a bit easier to publish content. But that means getting a CMS of some description, so might take me a little while.
