The more I experiment with Notion, the more I find it interesting, powerful and useful. This thing can be a personal CMS for any blogger. I should write a blog post about this.

Thought of the day: for bloggers, it is taboo thing to do to share the blog visitors statistics on social media. #blogger #bloggerlife #blogging

On bookmarking apps and services
Bookmarking apps and services like Pinboard are great but they offer limited features… (I was a user of Pocket before). For me, I decided to use more versatile tools like Notion.io instead. More complete, deeper learning curve but way more than bookmarking service. (I was evaluating Raindrop.io but stopped because of lack of support of multitasking on iPadOS. I wrote the developer about it. Still didn’t get a response). alanralph.co.uk/3721-2/ Continue reading →

Another tool that I’m learning to fully take advantage for my blogger workflow: Linky. Wow. More to come in my next update to my blogger workflow.

I almost forgot that I have a Podcast (in french). My last recording goes back to last summer. I didn’t mention it on my blogger workflow. Too insignificant I guess.

Looking to add Google Analytics Widget to my iPad Home Screen - help
Asking my dear network of friends: I’d like to be able to put a widget of Google analytics on my iPad home screen. Do you know of any iOS apps that can do this? I’ll pay for it if the design is up to my taste. Something along the line of this one (which is no longer being maintained). Thanks. 🙏🏻 apps.apple.com/ca/app/ga… Continue reading →

Because I’m a freak of visitors statistics in general, I just enabled Google Analytics for this micro.blog. Just another way to see if I get any attention (I’m not attention freak though!). 😊

Why, oh why? If I was blogging for fame, I would close all this shit right away! So, why am I doing all this? That’s the question that’s lingering in my head this morning. I guess this is a typital thing to ask myself, dear blogger. #blogger #bloggerlife #blogging

On Medium as a platform for bloggers
For those wonder about using Medium as a publishing platform. Here is a summary for my last four publications. See the difference when a story gets approved? The last three stories were not approved for publication behind their paywall. Not cool. It is a hit or miss and so you don’t want to build too much confidence in the platform to help build any form of sustainable revenue, even small. Continue reading →

Where is the date of publication?
Here is something that I notice quite often while browsing the web: the lack of a publish date on articles, blog posts, etc. While living in the age of fast content consumption, where content relevance is depleting fast, it seems important, more than ever, to put a publishing date. I know we can sometimes infer the date from the URL but to me it isn’t the right way to do it. Continue reading →

I’m putting the last efforts on something special that I’ll be sharing really soon. I’m kind of proud of the end results. So, if you are a blogger or want to start a new blog, you should pay attention to this space. 👨🏻💻☝🏻#blogger #blogging #writers.

To all content creators: RSS feeds as facilitators, use them!
My goal as a blogger is to get people read my stuff. RSS feeds are a way to help users access my content. Trying to be protective is counterproductive for me. The idea is to remove friction to the users. If they want to read via Reeder for example, why not! On that note, If a website doesn’t provide an RSS feed, which is sad, I’m let interested to stay in touch. Continue reading →

Question to people here on Micro.blog: what are the choices of themes? Are the ones (nine or so) the only one available? Asking for a friend of mine. 😊

Here is an insider note, from a blogger. Each and every single morning, I spend about 45-60 minutes doing things related to my blog: writing, reading, researching, bookmarking, designing, thinking. Every single day. It’s a passion I guess. #blogger #bloggerlife #writing 👨🏻💻😎

Do many things, so,little time
Here is one of my problems: I don’t have enough time in a day to write about all the things I’d like to post here and on my main blog. So many things I would like to write about. One such thing is about my blogger workflow (what tools do I use and why, what platforms, etc.). 🤷🏻♂️ Continue reading →

Learning new things about micro.blog everyday.
Just found out why for longer posts (> 280 characters) a title field shows up while editing my blog post. Nice touch. One thing though, I’d like to have the post categories always shown instead of having to hit the ellipsis button each time. Consider this a feature request. 🙋🏻♂️ Continue reading →

After so many months here on micro.blog, I think I found my reason to be here. Never too late to get it! My main blog being for long posts, micro.blog for link posts and random thoughts. Make sense? I feel better now. #blogger #blogging

This weekend I did all the things that I love do most. Being with my family. Writing. Blogging. Doing photo stuff.
