Blog more, Tweet less
If you’re working on your own new blog or have an existing one it’s good to write smaller posts like this one, not share on Twitter all of the time. I find that I get more engagement, grow my traffic and more importantly own my content when I simply treat my blog as I want – to share my thoughts, big or small.
Why don’t you give it a go for 30 days? Hide your Twitter app from your main home screen and add your blogging platform one instead.
This is good advice. If I have something to say I say it here. I only tweet links to what I post here and nothing more.
I chose Write.as as the new home for ldstephens
ldstephens has been hosted on WordPress.com since I started blogging in 2016. Over the years, WordPress has become less of a blogging platform and more of a general web development platform. The change that forced me to start searching for a new home for ldstephens was when the Block Editor was forced on its users.
The first time I heard about Write.as was in a Mac Power Users Forum thread. Being curious, I signed up for the 14-day trial and started checking it out. By the way, thank you, Matt, for extending my trial to 30 days. I don’t need the full 30 days, and I’m signing up for 5-year plan today.
Anyway, my research led me to this blog post by Marius Masalar from April 2021 Every Blogging Option Sucks. Except the one that makes sense for you.
