Painful Blogging Lessons That Still Feel Worth It

Well, this has been harder than I expected.

“Just write and post,” they said.
That was a lie.

Sure, there’s the writing. But there are also domains, layouts, and mobile views. Then come image sizes, broken links, and accessibility. Don’t forget about SEO, and the endless game of fix one thing, break three more.

Living.
