I’ve played with a lot of platforms and started multiple blogs, but I keep coming back to MicroBlog. Why you may ask? I’ve been pondering that and came up with a few clear reasons.

MicroBlog has so many features, I’ll name the ones important to me. * Cross Posting to Mastodon, Threads, BlueSky, and Nostr. * It’s also its own activity pub instance an could replace Mastodon if you wish. * Helps me create a photo gallery * Manage and share my reading. * Bookmarks * It has a built-in encrypted notebook * Produces a newsletter for me. * And if I had the gumption, I could host a podcast on it. * Plus the basics.. pages, categories, static pages..etc

Not to mention the fact it’s my blog itself. But there are a few things it could use. It has a small theme selection, though, if you’re handy with code, you can customize to your liking. I myself am a little lazy and lack the time, so I make do with what’s there by default. I guess that is just one thing.

In the end, I really do love MicroBlog, and until I can design something as good on my own, I don’t see myself leaving. I may stop all together, but when I come back it’s usually here.

Cheers!
