Why Yet Another Blog?

A blog is a place for you to share your ideas, experience, feelings and passion. It allows you write freely about whatever you think. Since the blog is on your own website, there is no restriction. You can optimize your website to make reading more pleasant. Your blog will also be indexed by search engines, so anyone can find your blog posts just with a search.

Many people use social media to express themselves. It's nice for publishing some quick update, but it's not enough to express everything. That's because many social medias place artificial limits, and even if there is no technical restriction, people don't usually take the time to read your long posts. Since social medias are optimized for many small status updates, so reading long posts aren't very convenient and it's very hard (if possible) to find a particular post. And if you use unethical social medias like Facebook or Twitter, the algorithms may (and will) also get in your way.

So I encourage you to start your own blog and write about your interests, just like many other bloggers. You don't need to update your blog regularly, just update when you have something to say and some free time to write your thoughts.

I don't need a dynamic website. Static websites are a lot faster than dynamic websites. Dynamic websites typically do a lot of processing on every request. This wastes a lot of power and time, and in this world with problems like pollution, global warming and climate change, I don't want to worsen the situation.

Static websites are easier to maintain than dynamic ones. There is nothing to execute, so there isn't any security problem. I can maintain a static website with the comfort of Emacs and Org mode, and that's what I'm doing here right now.
