I have a few hobbies/interests and I like to disseminate information (links to other internet resources, mostly, including stuff I read first through HN). I have currently almost 300 followers, and 28 circles. Before Google+, whenever I encountered something interesting (say, an article about Japanese language and culture) I had to just send an email to a group of people, while role playing gamers where mostly a dist…

If you han make a commit to github on your phone you could get the blog to be re-generated via Travis. Also check out netlify.

I use Rapidweaver for my website so this is not an option until I move to a different toolchain. Will check netlify, thanks.

I am thinking of Tumbler, even if I understand that there is no way to segment the posts by "circles" so people interested in Calligraphy will have to sort through RPG related posts and other stuff they are not really interested in. You could do a BlogSpot site and use labels to sort things, or make a separate blog for each interest that correlated to a specific circle.

Yes, tagging blog entries is also a possibility - I could probably embed the blog somewhere in my website. A side effect (which entails both pluses and minuses) is that by using a blog I might curate the links a bit more: with Google plus most of the time I just paste the link and select the appropriate circles.

If you go with blogspot, you can also use pages to better organize posts. You have an RPG page and a calligraphy page and you list new posts on the appropriate page. If you remember to do it consistently at the time you create the post, it's an extra 30 seconds of work. It's only a pain if you forget for long periods and have to devote time to going back through a bunch of posts

Tags seem to me to be the best solution because sometimes a post would have been shared to multiple circles: e.g. a link to an article about historical Samurai weapons/tactics could go to "martial arts", "Japanese language and culture", "Role playing games".
