After reading about the psychology of weblogs, I realized I had actually run out of things to say nearly a year ago. This reflects the common experience of creative exhaustion and self-reflection within the early blogging community.
I checked out MIT's Blogdex, which crawls weblogs to find trending links and provide current information. I also shared resources for finding active weblogs and a detailed essay on the history of the medium.
I'm exploring Wiki Weblogs to transition my manual blog into a system organized by both dates and keywords. I want to combine chronological posting with the associative, non-linear structure of a wiki for better information organization.
I explain what weblogs are, categorizing them as discussions, narratives, or moderated sites. I share my favorite sources like Scripting News and SlashDot while noting Blogger's growing popularity for personal online journals in 2000.
I joined a podcast on LLM Psychology and demonstrated how to repurpose video into sketch-notes, slides, and articles. Using LLMs to transform complex documents makes information more accessible by matching my preferred consumption style.
I curated the 2001 Scripting News awards for the best weblogs, documenting the year's most influential sites and creators. This resource highlights key figures and milestones from the formative years of the blogging community.
