Some Hurdles to Fix Already
I encountered my first few hurdles in transposing my content from a Craft document to a Micro.blog. Craft enables rich document content and supports block types like JSON output or command line examples. Posts containing these need special Markdown attention. Thanks to some help1, I figured that out, so the output looks ok. Next up are documents with images like screenshots. When exporting from Craft to Ulysses, images are inserted in Ulysses as references to Craft’s backend storage. Continue reading →

Browsing Past Published Articles on Ghost
Circumventing Ghost’s limited posts management capabilities. I recently decided to spend some time editing past articles published on my Numeric Citizen Space website. I first thought that by going to my Ghost admin page, I could quickly browse past published articles by month. I couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, Ghost offers limited post management capabilities, thanks to its limited content browsing capabilities. I cannot go back, say, list articles published early in 2023. Continue reading →

Some Updates to My Blogging Setup
Following my departure from Twitter, as well documented here, it was time for me to make some changes to my blogging setup. First, as for my domain numericcitizen.me, I moved my DNS setup off WordPress.com to GoDaddy, so that everything is in one place. Plus, I have more control on GoDaddy than on WordPress.com. This change was required so I could add a subdomain, blog.numericcitizen.me and point it to Micro.blog, numericcitizen. Continue reading →

A Month After Migrating Off Blot.im — Observations
It’s now been a month since this website was migrated off Blot.im. The question you might ask: is the website getting as much traffic as it did before? The answer is no, a lot less traffic. According to this post, I got about 90 unique visitors daily during the 20 months with Blot.im. Now, under Craft, I’m getting less than 20. It’s hard to say why. Is the lack of RSS feed the reason?

Instapaper vs Pocket — Which Read Later Service is Better for Me
As much as I love Craft, its current version is unsuitable as a read-later solution. I do keep a list of bookmarks within Craft, but the article’s content is not fetched and saved into Craft, something Notion is able to do. This list is kept for other purposes, like helping me build my newsletter and other long-form articles. I need a better reading solution. Reading is something that requires the least distraction possible. Continue reading →

Interesting Fact About My Twitter Usage
I spent a few moments this week analyzing Twitter’s influence on my blog’s visitors analytics using Plausible. Why? Because. Plausible · numericcitizen.me Plausible · numericcitizen.micro.blog Numbers show that cross-posting on Twitter brings about 10-15% traffic to my blogs. It is much lower than I initially thought. Closing my account would minimally affect my exposure. These numbers show that I should care too much about Twitter’s future. I should look confidently beyond Twitter as a content creator.
