At the outset, allow me to express how the existence of this small web thrills me. There are so many platforms on the WWW a person can use for personal expression, but all of them are riddled with distractions. The themes. The fonts. The HTML, PHP, and CSS. Just more ways for me to avoid getting after more important things. My mental health, for example. Granted, I could create a text only blog based on markup, but I know me. I would just keep tinkering; forever questing for a more minimalistic minimalism.
Hence, the small web. Here, the world is built on text only. There are no themes or tweaks to speak of. No dashboards filled with analytics and suggested products to improve SEO. No frills. Just words. So appealing!
Even so, this is still just a test. I have yet to decide on how best to think via the written word. I already have an analog journal, and I keep faith with it. However, there's no accountability; no chance of someone stumbling into something I wrote and pointing out obvious flaws or offering perspectives I have no way of accessing on my own. In short, I intend to keep my eyes open, but I do hope this will work.
