Here what I learned with the old blog, for one I should express myself (The post about the Spokane wildfires is one example, of me not expressing my ideas, or thoughts about it), a blog is generally the authors thoughts on some topic, or about what they learned/did.</p> <p>Another thing is there is almost no point of writing the posts in a very formal manner, since it generally serves no purpose, and people may think, "this blog post is very formal and the author did not express their thoughts about anything", hmm, it must be AI generated/assisted. Most of my posts were very formal. Several people recomended that I write Wikipedia articles instead.</p> <p>And one last thing don't be determined to write a long post unless you have enough information ready and drafted (like notes about what you did or learned), plus you don't even have to post regularly.</p> <p>The old blog can be found <a href=../../../../oldblog/>here</a>.</p> August 17, 2026
