@realcaseyrollins @counterculture ...as in, Font size?

No, don't do it. The text is decent as is, you just make it harder to read.

A blog page in my view is primarily a piece of writing, images are complements or used as fillers by someone with less things to say.

I love the plain back screen I get in write.freely in Night mode, and it operates so fast. Lovely software.

Someone mentioned Plume and I have an account there now too, but not sure if i like it so much for sheer writing tasks; their editor is smaller and slower than the writing freely one, and that is something I am already used to and enjoying...

On the good side, they allowing easy indexing via tags, seaches for related pages in your blong, linking to each other. And they offer in house image hosting too.

That makes it a lot easier for someone starting up, but i like to have my images in a separate image host; my bolg pages can be moved from one instance to another, or duplicated, very simply - copy paste, and it's functional when I hit the save button.

Plume has good thing though, as does write.freely.

I will write a report on my thoughts in blog form sometime.

Tweaking things is good, I do get a thrill when I can shave off Bytes from my images by selecting the formats, maybe crop a bit more. Sometimes it's .png that does best, others .jpeg is tighter.

And then I remember the next day that people are really wasting most of the bandwidth of the net with videos, argh.

But I like to do my best, tight, clean, as small as possible.

@realcaseyrollins @counterculture
I would suggest breaking it up into sequential posts, possibly?

I like the simplicity of write.freely.

If you like more controls and lots of tools and options, maybe WordPress?

They also are fediverse aware and there are some instances listed at https://fediverse.network

@realcaseyrollins There's a Merchandise section in the project pages, they might have stickers.

A little bit of background about how I was introduced to #Freesoftware (I had to dig hard myself; media wasn’t helping) and why its advocacy is becoming only more important over time http://techrights.org/2019/12/17/fs-love-story/
