I want to write an abandoned blog. The kind that has a handful of posts over a year or so and then trails off.
The blog will follow this archetype, 2–5 posts total:
- One pretty good, if unreadably boring, blogpost about a project of mine
- The lowliest form of human literature: blogging about blogging. Maybe about writing plans, or about the static site generator.
- Maybe a final post, after a hiatus, stating intent to get back to writing sometime this year — or maybe as a New Year's resolution, so it can be put off until next year — but then the blog tapers off and never updates again.
I'll do the blogpost-about-blogging first; it can introduce the goals of the abandoned blog. I won't really publish it first, though; I'll write all the posts in one go and backdate them. Then I can release the abandoned blog in one push instead of taking months or years.
I'd rather write the good blogpost about something recent though, so I'll date it 2026 to avoid anachronism. So you'll have to wait a few years for the abandoned blog vibe.
There is a slim chance the whim strikes to write additional posts in the future. If this happens, I'll include them with real publication dates. I will consider this project a failure if I end up uploading longform blogposts semi-regularly for over a year.
You can find the rest of my blogposts on the blog index page, or below:
^This list is dynamically generated in case something possesses me to write subsequent posts.
I'll set up an Atom/RSS feed here:
feed.xml. If all goes according to plan, you can add it to your reader without getting bothered by notifications.
