I gotta say, I am not that hyped for the next Era of Posting to be just a bunch of separate websites. That's going to be so lonely
You can already have a website. I have a website. There's a reason we're all here instead.
I never update my site because it sucks and there's no motivation to update it. (It doubly sucks because I used a static site generator, so I need to remember how to build and deploy it with every infrequent update.)
I don't need Numbers but I do need to know that someone is reading it and cares
add a comments section if you're savvy enough or wanna deal with disqus. but a great way to let people say a nice thing to you about what you're posting on your own blog is to give them an email! it's old fashioned, sure, but everyone's got an email account. you may not get as many Likes because there's a bit more friction to the interaction but if that's all you can give em, it's not too bad a start
i have hello@nickyflowers.com to separate my nice emails from my evil gmail inbox :-) i've gotten some feedback already
