I maintain a personal blog. I migrated it from WordPress to Jekyll then Hugo. I have 12 years worth of posts. I don't have comments.

I syndicate a portion of my posts to DEV, via RSS.

DEV provides two things:

  1. Canonical URLs that can point to my original site.
  2. A means of bringing my posts to an audience/community with a built in comments tool.

This allows my blog to be an Everything/Nothing style blog, so I can write poetry, RPG material, and software material. And, via syndication, allows me to converse with folks who might be interested in one slice of what I'm writing.
