What this is (start here)

This is the little space on the World Wide Web where I keep my writing and things.

I’ve become increasingly interested in the IndieWeb and self-hosting of content (for a bunch of reasons I have finally put into a blog post here) so for safekeeping I have moved my old posts from Medium over to here – they are filed under “Archive (old posts)“. That category also includes past articles I wrote for the Welsh Agenda.

From this point on, I’ll be using this as a space for thinking out loud, sharing reflections and learning, and talking about what I’m working on. There’s a /now page of broad current themes, and this blog space is for new stuff and thinking in progress. (I’ve also got a little corner for case studies of completed projects, so I can point to them at some point in the future if I need to.)

If that’s of interest, welcome aboard! In the sidebar on the right of this post, you will find the topics that I think and write most about, so you can dip in wherever you like.

How to keep abreast of new stuff?

  • You can add https://noreen.wales/blog/ to your RSS reader. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) readers or apps aggregate the content from loads of different places that you choose to follow into one central app, it’s neat. They were all the rage in the early 00s and they’re making a comeback! If you want to get started with RSS, you could check out Inoreader or Feedly or TheOldReader (my favourite).
  • If you want a notification in your inbox that there’s a New Thing, you can subscribe to this minuscule newsetter: https://buttondown.email/noreenwales which basically says “hi, there’s a new thing on the blog”, when there’s a new thing on the blog. (No more than weekly, and generally less frequently than that.)

Thanks for your interest, and stay tuned. 🙂
