This is the 7th edition of People and Blogs, the series where I ask interesting people to talk about themselves and their blogs. Today we have Ana …

I spend an unreasonable amount of time making sure my blog renders well even if CSS isn't loaded. Whether it's a dodgy Internet connection, a text-only browser, or something else - it's nice knowing that my blog is in a logical order and perfectly usable without decorations. So fire up Lynx or w3m and take a look at your site. What do you need to change?

I'm so socially awkward about working on my personal site in public (e.g. planes, trains or cafés) that I made an "awkward mode" to hide any content about me

Laying out the goals & principles for my site

Oof! Just pushed out my first redesign on my site in several years. 🙈 Would love to know what y'all think. 💙 marcusnoble.co.uk

I built a personal site! Though it's always "in-progress" where I keep reiterating, adding new stuff, changing the styles, etc. But I'm ready to show it to the world :D Made using @nextjs, hosted on @vercel, here's a thread of features my site has:

every weekend, I say to myself "I will finish my personal website and deploy it" every weekend, I lay on the couch doing nothing instead today, my domain auto-renewed

#IndieWeb is cool. You'd need to add a micropub endpoint to your blog that could handle standard requests + get IndieAuth set up which is fairly trivial unless you want to build your own. I'm slowly trying to add all these to my own blog. indieweb.org

I finally convinced my very talented work buddy @kevinpaxton82 to make his own site, and 1 day in it already looks ✨ amazing ✨ kevinpaxton.com

I finally figured out what colours I want to use for my site rebuild. Just need to get off the sofa now, any minute now 😅

I've spent a little of my "productive" time tonight stripping back my blog to a basic UI. I want to make changes, but they're going to be small and over time, so I keep the noise to a minimum. I already feel better about it.

I don't like looking at analytics too much because it deters me away from focusing on the quality of my blog posts, but it's that time of year where I have a quick peak! This is how 2020 compares to last year. 🤯 Thank you all for taking the time to follow along💜 #bypawlean https://t.co/x3j5wjFAB8

I am on PTO for the next two weeks. Guess I no longer have an excuse to put off building a personal website

I've been posting a blog every day this year. It has been fun and stressful. But I'm in sight of my stretch-goal of ONE MILLION page views over the year. I need ~3k views per day for the rest of December. Better write some Controversial Tech Opinions™. shkspr.mobi/blog
