The missing link

When I moved the blog to Jekyll last year I made several decisions about the posts I would bring across. One of those was to drop several of the post types that I'd added over the years leaving only a normal blog post as the type of content I could post. I hoped that by stripping out all the cruft I would be able to focus more on my own writing and build up more of a routine to posting. Inevitably that hasn't panned out. There have been times where I've posted regularly, but just as I felt like I was getting into some kind of pattern things would happen and I wouldn't post.

Of course one thing that has never changed was that I still read articles. In fact this year I've focused more on RSS as a means of reading and as a result I'm reading far more than I used too. I've also adopted Good Links as my read later app of choice and am developing a reading work flow to help me process what I'm reading. Part of that process involves sharing what I read. So for the same reason I added the ability to share links on my blog many years ago I've added that ability to this one. It's in a state I call earliest usable product like much of this blog is, but I intend to keep improving things continuously over the next few weeks.
