New Blog: Revised

New Blog

Blog Architecture 2021-02-02Blog Architecture 2021-02-02

The ingredients:

  • blot.im takes care of the hosting, SSL cert, storage etc… $4USD a month. If needed it can be self hosted, it is open source, available via github
  • portable by using a custom domain pointed at blot via DNS alias
  • simple content management via git (or dropbox)
  • editing is git+vim+files (on a big computer) and spck editor on Android
  • mail list/newsletter is mailchimp creating a weekly digest from the blog’s RSS feed, currently using the free tier
