Blogging and ebook readers.

[AranaszarSzuur]

Since some people in the scene are into writing rather lengthy blog entries, including whole stories, here is a neat thing I just remembered. I was going through my hundreds of open tabs and adding them to "reading list" and closing them and then I realised I'm never going to read them because sitting before computer and reading long articles sucks.

Which reminded me that I used to read blogs on my ebook reader.

So I recently discovered this blog when looking for info about Confrontation:
https://theleadpile.blogspot.com/
and of course a few articles on it got stuck forever in my tabs.

So, I stumbled upon it when closing tabs and decided to dig out my ebook reader and have read the article while walking around the kitchen.
The default browser sucked but I got Brave installed on it and used it for reading blogs.

I know that some people have lengthy articles on their blogs and it's a great way of reading them.

Unfortunately many blogs aren't mobile friendly and especially aren't ebook reader screen friendly.
Like with dark backgrounds, no elastic layout, etc.

^I haven't really figured out how to do mobile friendly. I just use blogger, so to the extent it does so natively maybe I'm all right. Thanks for the heads up about the dark background. Those were all the rage in the 90s, but I ditched them shortly after and never looked back. I guess they came back in when I wasn't looking, but since I'm so out of style I think I'm probably all right there.
