Blogging is back?
<p>In today's episode of Dailyish, I share how a family conversation about social media led me to rediscover my late father-in-law's travel blog and a link to my sister-in-law's old blog, reminding me how refreshing plain, ad-free posts feel compared to today's algorithm-driven, promo-heavy sites. I reflect on blogging as one of the earliest forms of online self-expression, my own long-running blog at <a href="http://chrisenns.com/">chrisenns.com</a>, and the recurring cycle of people leaving and returning to blogging despite the easier likes and shares on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://chrisenns.com/2025/12/you-should-start-a-blog-now-or-later/">You should start a blog</a></li><li><a href="https://buttondown.email/refer/lemoncasting">Sign up for Buttondown</a></li><li><a href="https://pika.page/">Pika.page</a></li></ul><p>Topics:<br>00:00 Intro</p><p>00:33 Family Blog Rediscovery</p><p>01:25 Why Blogs Feel Better</p><p>02:12 My Longtime Home Site</p><p>03:01 Blogging Comes Back Around</p><p>03:57 Own Your Domain</p><p>04:40 Easy Ways To Start</p><p>05:42 Tools Pika And Buttondown</p><p>06:18 Share Your Blog</p><p>06:34 Episode Wrap Up</p>
