Want. Words. Here.
Heading Goes Here
It's been a while since I've used Markdown and I don't remember any of the formatting.
I thought I'd try out a federated blogging site so that if I want to write some longform content then I have the option to do so.
Why?
The problem I have with most social media sites is that what I want to say, in the way I want to say it, doesn't always fit well in 100, or 240, or 500, or whatever number of characters a particular implementation of “talk to other people” uses.
While I'm trying to get everything to fit, and rework it to do so, and then remember I also wanted to add some hashtags, and then think of another point I'd like to add, and then rework it again, and then decide it needs two posts, so reformat again to add 1/x. Oh now I need three. What actually was I trying to convey again?
Don't get me wrong, I'm naturally wordy when I'm writing and it's a good exercise to attempt to be concise but there are also times when I just want to let the idea flow. On most sites I delete more posts I've written before they've been posted than I actually post. If I can't find a way to get the idea or thought across then I won't post it as incomplete.
So I'm here. I don't really want a formal blog with lots of bells and whistles and annoying cookies. Something simple with Markdown as my control should do fine. And I'm hoping I can link to images on my Pixelfed instance, which might mean there will be the odd strange image uploaded there just because I want to show it here. But I'll put them all in a Blog collection or such like.
So best best try out an image then. (Yes, two bests. English is great.)
Well that's it for now, that's why this is here and hopefully I'll find the odd use for it and be able to feed it in to my main account.
