An Initial Post
I tend to stir up things over on blogger, mostly writing the blog http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/ —but I am considering writing and using Medium instead to provide stuff, since the platform just seems nicer. My Ramblings are mostly-technical and they tend to contain a lot of code in them, but the way I tend to add new blog posts is somewhat indirect. I write the post itself in my trusty Acme editor—as markdown—and then I convert that into HTML which I then push in on top of Blogger. I almost never use the editor in Blogger because I hate it. So writing on Medium is an attempt. An attempt to see if the platform would be a nicer way to write posts and if I would prefer it to writing in the Editor.
Aside from 2018: In 2013, Medium was a quite nice platform. But over the years, they destroyed the platform totally, making it a platform where you have to pay in order to read posts and entries. It was free originally.
