I really wish that it was easier for non-technically minded people to submit blogs to this list. It would really help if the owner of this site made a web form that didn't require you to have a Github account to submit things (or even understand how to hand-type the weird json format that they want) I estimate that extra amount of user abrasion is preventing something like 99% of people from submitting their blogs.

You are absolutely right, now I added google form as a link to the site. thanks !

I am afraid to blog. I could write about my career and my hobby, but those do not seem to be interesting for others. My opinion may be interesting, but it is risky because something I write may come back to offend others one day, or get me in trouble. One time ago I considered blogging anonymously about the economy but doing so anonymously felt disingenuous.

I got a site. Most of my visitors are bots. 30 visitors per month. 25 bots, remaining 5 times I visited knowing from analytics.

Don't overthink. You see there are many one post sites out there. If you can manage it regularly do it.

For folks interested in this space, there's a few other resources of which I'm a fan. First, there's Micro.blog ( https://micro.blog/ ). They can host a blog for you, or you can publish to their service for free using your own blog by pointing Micro.blog at your RSS feed (I do the latter). Think blogging but with a social element, facilitating both interaction and content discovery. Second, there's the IndieWeb movem…

These are amazing. These approaches make writing blogs very tempting. Thanks for sharing
