Comment on Ask HN: What keeps you from writing a blog?

Comments

Since I started a wiki, I haven't wrote a single post. I think the reason is that writing a 'blog post' feels like too much friction when I can just drop a note somewhere in my corpus of knowledge.

Makes it easy for querying too.

This is the exact reason that I started writing "posts" or "articles" even though I haven't put any on a site yet. I was putting stuff in a wiki and felt like they were unfinished ideas. I've found that the wiki is where the idea goes and the article is where I can really flesh out understanding. When you take the time to write something out with an outline and real consideration, you understand it better. It has helped me figure out my own thoughts on a subject when previously I only had surface opinions.
