Gardening in public

<p>The entire purpose of <a class="wikilink" href="/this_website_is_not_a_blog/">this website</a> was to <a class="wikilink" href="/lower_the_barrier_to_writing/">lower the barrier to writing</a> and, especially, <a class="wikilink" href="/lower_the_barrier_to_publishing/">lower the barrier to publishing</a>. </p> <p>In the end, I am making my own <a class="wikilink" href="/digital_garden/">digital garden</a> available online for anyone who is interested in following my very varied trains of thought. </p> <p>Initially, I subscribed to the idea of <a class="wikilink" href="/essays/a_new_way_of_blogging/">a new way of blogging</a>, since I was particularly interested in <a class="wikilink" href="/breaking_the_chronological_order/">breaking the chronological order</a>. </p> <p>But it was clear that at some point there's a chronology associated with the publishing of <em>more finished</em> work (see: <a class="wikilink" href="/what_happens_when_notes_become_long/">What happens when notes become long</a>). For example, if I publish something online on LinkedIn or Twitter, it tends to be associated with an essay I've written. </p> <p>So now I have a hybrid system. These notes, that become public with rolling updates (even drafts of essays that my never be finished). And a more "professional website" that displays a bit more concisely my work and thoughts.</p>
