I miss blogs. They were infinitely better and now seem to be all but completely replaced by videos. I just hate video format for anything that isn't anime.Blogs were nice because search engines would return them when they fit a websearch, but now all the big search engines put a hard block and filter on blogs while the fucked up interface embeds video and image links unrelated to your query even though you clicked on web search not the video or image tab.I've been putting together stuff for a blog but since it's going to be censored it seems a blogazine would be a better format if we're assuming reach and discoverability will be zero.Basic idea is write up the blog posts but have more fun with the images and diagrams. Format it together for one epub and pdf. From there disseminate on whatever relevant forum(s). Depending on the size and scale of projects it would probably be a quarterly thing.Organization would be grand project as your base, every issue is about parts of this. Write on planned additions, would be nices, qq about roadblocks and setbacks; this invites engagement where others share similar misfortunes, how they handled it, or good solutions that were overlooked. Smaller projects that were completed over months could be summed up in blogazine article. Non-projects like the one off kind of ideas you had or accidentally discovering something cool could be blurbs or thrown in to an enceteria at the end. Recipes or photos/drawings you like but don't warrant an article or blurb could just be scattered through out.Thinking too far ahead, but collaborative writing would be when it gets really fun, if like-minded types created content fitting the same goal as long as there was a screening process that kept out the video grifter types. Probably not enough people have interests and hobbies these days to justify the logistics headache. If there are others it may be better to drop the files individually in a folder and disseminate as a blogazine collection.
Same, they were high effort and had soul
