I’ve embarked on a huge restructuring and visual overhaul of my website, and as I thought about it more and more, I started asking the Big Questions such as:
- What even is a “personal website” in 2021?
- How do we evolve from the mental model of the circa-2005 “blog”?
- How can you integrate with other mediums such as social media, newsletters, and the like?
- Does the world really need me, a “white dude”, endlessly pontificating on one thing or another when there needs to be space for other voices to be heard?
Join me for a dive into my design notes as I think through these sorts of questions!
