Maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds, but I miss the days when blogs were the dominant social media.

Heh. I'm with you. But blogs to me are not social media. They are in my mind a communications medium which contains social interaction but is not dependent upon it but rather the content being communicated. I miss simple. I also once could identify signal and noise as separated.

There could be nothing more simple than this web site. Yet I can discern a sensible structure in it that can be mapped to a sylph of a blog framework that can be served by any stack. It can look like your blog with few lines of CSS. Simple enough? motherfuckingwebsite.com/

Web Design? Overrated! This example? HOT! I along with many folks had a daily "diary" in 1998 or so when @peterme tested my ken of country codes in URLs during a conference game (100% FTW!) I'm BBS born. Communities matter to me. Lone blogs feel too insular. Remember The Well?
