I decided to start this blog (not my first…) on the interesting micro.blog platform, but the effort quickly (!) flamed out. I am 99 percent responsible but will admit that I never quite grasped how to make the system including the lovely Hugo-based blog engine used by micro.blog work for me.

I almost gave up, and was ready to move one when I realized a new micro.blog subscription plan was ridiculously cheap. I had been paying $5/month which is a tiny amount, but since I wasn’t using the system a total waste. They launched a teaser plan at $1/month or $10/year and I thought… it’s worth another try.

Next steps: dig in, understand the Micro.blog system (including the Hugo static blog generator, associated themes ,and probably some other stuff, all while doing some writing.

And make some new mistakes.
