I ran across this[0] post about a month ago, which makes an argument against the chronological blog, and to rather embrace the digital garden. I quite liked the idea. For so long it's felt like a blog is the default, but I find browsing pages without a blog much more interesting. I think it also removes that pressure to post all the time, as adding content is simply adding content. It doesn't matter when it was last updated. Looking at my history (which I had to use to find this), I deleted all my started and abandoned blogs the same day I read this.
edit... Ironically, I just clicked "All Articles" on his home page and it's a chronological blog... At least there is some curation to it.
Dating documents you write on creation and update is always helpful. It doesn't mean one needs to write a chronological blog or have a target cadence.
Love all of this, your comment, parent comment, OP, etc.
When I next start a website I'm just going to channel my old Geocities days.
