What is it about?
This article outlines the history of my journey as an academic blogger. It explains what my reasoning was when I started blogging just after finishing my PhD, and tracks what kind of content has done well on the blog since it has been running. It also offers some thoughts about the role of blogs in the current era of the internet, in the context of decentralised social media and the rise of AI.

Perspectives
