Learning to Blog on Micro.blog

What are my options?

Okay, so my goal was to find a platform that was relatively simple and straight forward. I tend to do a lot of writing using Obsidian in Markdown. The challenge is that to post something long, I need to use an app outside of the micro.blog website. If I use AI Writer on my phone, then it will create a new draft, which I can use the micro.blog app to publish.

However, if I’m logged in on the web, I don’t seem to have the same information and I’m not sure why. Like so many things, I want to understand this all up front, but in reality, I’m going to have to use it for a while to figure out the obvious but invisible link, menu, option that I expect.

So be it. I will figure this out.

Eventually.

Questions Not Answers

I am starting this blog after reading Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff. The book proposed some interesting ideas about how to switch from a rigid linear mindset, toward growth loops. Basically, iterate and learn. I found her book because of Oliver Burkeman’s book Four Thousand Weeks. (I often follow up books that authors recommend.)

So this begins a process of small tests, (yes, tiny experiments.) Most of my blog posts which are posted on my company blog post (https://www.gametruckparty.com/blog) are either polished marketing pieces, or on my own personal blog (https://scottnovis.com) are supposed to be focused on the topic that I am most known for, or that I am trying to get known for.

However, I love the idea of sharing what I am learning, not what I have already learned. Hence, the Micro.blog. In short, I intend to share the questions I am exploring, as I am exploring them. This may or may not include the answers as I find them, but at least it’s a start.
