Comment on 20 Years of Blogging on my own websiteparent

Comments

I've got a blog on my own domain, and I'd love to be able to write as well as you one day. So far I've mostly stuck to photos (⌒_⌒;).

Ooh! I want to start publishing photos online. What do you use? I looked at your website but it doesn't seem familiar.

If you ever come across it - I'd love to find the "MkDocs-Material of Photo Gallery". Structured folders of photos - run one command - a slick, static-HTML site is built. A feature where you could put full-size photos in there, and the tool would automatically generate web-friendly sizes... Keep an eye out (or share here if you know a good one!)

That is sort of what I have now, a script using pillow and osxphotos to export my albums.

It's just hugo with a custom theme. I run my script to export photo albums from iPhoto, then I add some discussion in markdown.

I'm very old school. I still have a Flickr Pro subscription.

You can do it! https://writeofpassage.com/

In books about writing, I like:

How Fiction Works

Reading Like a Writer

Writing With Style

There are many others of course. Perhaps the most important part is finding an editor. (I wound up marrying one, which is not uncommon.) I've seen recs for Sasha Chapin: https://www.sashachapin.com/
