pseudo-guide: comparison of journaling/diary methods

[sinew]

MAJOR WIP

a lot of neocities users keep a diary, and it's pretty neat to see what's going on with people in a way that offers more in-depth entries past twitter or facebook status updates. but... there's a fair amount of options in how to go about it

i'd like to take a look at various digital journaling methods i've seen used, and i suppose compare and contrast their pros and cons. hopefully, if you want to get into the world digital journaling, this article will help you figure out what method is right for you! note: a lot of this is your mileage may vary! for example, i personally find engagement important so i don't feel like i'm writing to the ether, but maybe you don't care about that. ie, what's a pro to me might be a con or "so what?" to you

these are the primary methods i'll be taking a look at:

• manual .html files


• twitter


• tumblr


• bearblog


• cutenews


• dreamwidth (+ similar, such livejournal, insanejournal, etc.)
