+title: Holiday Blog Tinkering
+categories:
+  - BMC
+tags:

+  - blogging
+  - Cloudron
+---
+I didn't get much blog tinkering done over the holidays, other than just barely opening my code editor and making a new branch, deciding to delete my archive from this site, and see if [[Obsidian]] can work for what it's intended to be: a fancy Markdown editor!
+
+This is my January 1st log of things to look at and what I'm planning to do.
+## Obsidian
+I've long "held out" against Obsidian. I tried it, it was fine, but after many years of rolling my own sites with [[Jekyll]] and [[Markdown]] it didn't feel like much of a difference.
+
+I _want_ the type of graph structure that [[LogSeq]] and other advanced systems do, with full block based systems, not just pages of Markdown on disk.
+
+But! Pages of Markdown on disk does accurately describe what I do when I'm working on this site, especially on desktop.
+
+We're also using Obsidian at [[Fission]] as of December 2023, for our product planning process. We bought licenses for the whole team and are using git for [[multiplayer]].
+## IndieKit
+
+I've gone back and forth on using [[IndieKit]]. The main thing it brings is a [[Micropub]] interface for mobile posting to this site. And with LogSeq not really working for me for that, and Noosphere not being quite ready, maybe I bring back journals here.
+
+I've been using and paying for [[Micro.blog]] for this for my [personal blog](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com), and I've been enjoying the cross posting -- posts get sent to Bluesky and Mastodon (and Nostr and Tumbler and LinkedIn).
+
+![](/assets/microblog-cross-posting-screenshot.png)
+## Cloudron
+I'm going to make a [[Cloudron]] page here, because I've been learning and experimenting and raving about it for 3 months or so.
+
+I had tried it some time ago and recently re-committed to it in a big way. I've got a personal install I call the [[Commons Computer]], installed it for [[CoSocial]], installed it for [[Fission]], and have an [[IPFS]] community one that isn't quite active yet.
+
+## LogSeq (and Noosphere and Linkding and...)
+What about my [notes site](https://notes.bmannconsulting.com) powered by [[LogSeq]]? Do I ... migrate all the notes back here? it's probably a good idea to have a separate notes site which is more ephemeral than this. But maybe everything is ephemeral???
+
+The other other thing I meant to do over the holidays was install the commandline [[Noosphere]] tooling. I'm in the beta, so have the [[Subconscious]] iOS app, and being able to perhaps use Noosphere for syncing between desktop and mobile would be good, without doing the [[Working Copy]] git client on my phone.
+
+And finally, I have a [shared bookmarking service Linkding installed on Commons Computer](https://commonscomputer.com/t/linkding-installed/25). You can browse [shared bookmarks here](https://links.commonscomputer.com/bookmarks/shared).
+
+Do I need another place to stash bookmarks? Part of the thinking of IndieKit and Journals on this site, is that notes-as-bookmarks / journals-with-links are a good place for them, and yet another service is just another spot for them to never get looked at again.
+## Eleventy
+One of the other solutions for how long it takes to build this site, and perhaps for more advanced "stuff", is perhaps to move it to [[Eleventy]]. But that's going to take a lot more coding and learning time, although I did [capture some Eleventy bookmarks](https://links.commonscomputer.com/bookmarks/shared?q=%23eleventy).
+
+## Addendum Jan 3rd, 2024
+
+OK, I went back and forth from this being a "blog" vs a [journal](/journal/).
+
+Now that I've got the Obsidian "unique note creator" creating datestamped journal entries that are more "block" sized, this giant post makes more sense as a "blog". And maybe, since I do have a [Obsidian on mobile via git](https://bmannconsulting.com/journal/2024-01-02/), there really isn't much pressure to move on IndieKit.
+
+And the one new person who subscribed to my feed will get it via RSS!
+
+I'll add a feed for journals...but may use that just to import / cross-post via Micro.blog, and invite people to follow my Mastodon account (which also has an RSS feed!).
+
+I likely won't add a feed for notes, as they get "edited in place". I have the five most recently updated on the home page, just as a way to surface things for those who truly come in through the home page. And, new notes will often get created / noted via journal posts, so people will get links to them that way.
+
+Perhaps weekly blog post summaries. We'll see!
+
+I'm itchy at how many wikilinks point over to the LogSeq notes site, but re-importing those back over here -- again! -- is a big project.
