I keep thinking at the moment how tired you must be 🤗
Love the way the team at Luton have adopted blogging over the last year and - more importantly - keeping it going! luton.localgov.blog/2026/02/26/a...
you've finally found your audience, Paul 😆
Ah I will do. Just having to create a custom RSS feed for Bluesky, which doesn't like a post with too much text in it...
No - although I have considered it. But the thought of migrating 22 years' of content fills me with dread!
Have played with some plugins but not liked them for one reason or another. Am just about to give IFTTT a go, so let's see.
Trying to find the best way to share stuff on my blog via Bluesky with minimal effort. Don't think this is the answer.

Not at all - am just curious about the mix of shorter posts and longer pieces and now I know it is micro.blog it all makes sense! Have tried to wrangle wordpress to do something similar but it isn't quite as elegant.
And no doubt way more than 1 day per week of productivity has been lost by people talking about it.
