The Working Notebook

Once upon a time I installed Movable Type and published my first blog.1 To this day I do not know how many readers I had. I won’t say blogging was new, but it wasn’t yet mainstream. I was still figuring out what to write about, and tried to treat it as something of a public diary or journal (I may have even published my thoughts on the differences between the two). As time went on I found that I had developed a mental model where that first blog was for serious content, and I had lighter, less consequential things I wanted to say. So I made another blog, still using Movable Type, and started publishing in two locations.
