On one hand, there’s the classical music catalog mode of blogging. This is a bookmark, that’s a note, a photo here, a link there, an essay when I’m feeling ambitious. Étude, sonata, variations on a theme. Framing the writing by its scale and shape. A taxonomist’s delight.
Then there’s the Jack White sort of blogging: here’s a thing, I made it. The edges weren’t worked down too much, the roughness is still there. It preserves the energy and spirit of the idea more than it tries to explore the idea to its logical end. Better to cut ideas too soon than coddle them.
Both work! Blogging is a big, weird tent.
