feelings

thoughts

unsure of how to even start
what will my first line say about me?
what does my approach to blogging say about me?
what is my approach to blogging?
revised: what is my blogging philosophy?
the obvious answer seems to be: my blog should benefit my readers in some way (after all, they’re putting in the time to read it)
caveat: i also want to be able to just write my thoughts down
solution: signpost what posts exist to be beneficial and what posts exist for my sake. you might still get something out of these, but they will fundamentally be about me and my thoughts. hence, I’ll be calling them thoughts
the posts that i will write to benefit you will be categorized beneficial. these will be defined as those posts which i intend to be beneficial from the get-go
in the middle, we’ll have posts that bring the two together: non-technical, yet me still talking about my work, creative or technical. these will be called for us. this blog is as much a place for us to meet as for me to shout my thoughts into the void
i can make use of tags/categories to separate these out, once i figure out how they work.

general tags i feel i will make posts including:

these will probably change over now! but we need to start somewhere. i’ll type this up nicely at some point, but this should do the job for now.
