Probably because most people don&rsquo;t print things anymore. But for me, if I&rsquo;m starting on a long article, I&rsquo;ll try and print it so that it doesn&rsquo;t hurt my eyes.</p> <p>When I Google related searches, I see people posting thoughts along the lines of:</p> <p>&ldquo;Why bother? Nobody prints things anymore.&rdquo;</p> <p>Those people are <del>assholes</del> inconsiderate, or ignorant, or both.</p>https://ngmarley.com/blog/simple-blogging-tips/Sun, 12 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0000https://ngmarley.com/blog/simple-blogging-tips/<p><a href="https://media.ngmarley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/veerle_blog-s.jpg"><img src="https://media.ngmarley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/veerle_blog-s.jpg" alt="Veerle&rsquo;s Blog at Starbucks"></a></p> <p>Veerle&rsquo;s Blog at Starbucks</p> <p>I decided to do an «arbitrary number»-part series on basic steps people can take to improve their basic/new blogs.</p> <ol> <li><strong>Use WordPress. It really is the shit.</strong></li> </ol> <p>If using blogger, migrate to wordpress.com. I really recommend a self-hosted blog using the software from wordpress.org, but that&rsquo;s not for everyone.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re using WordPress, you&rsquo;ll get an About page, a &ldquo;Hello World&rdquo; post and a fake initial comment.</p>
