I want to embark on a self improvement journey (specifically in terms of getting my finances in order and learning to be better with money) and the idea of blogging about my progress is appealing to me, but I'm not sure where to start. I've made some big changes to my internet habits in the last year or so, which has involved deleting all my social media and rediscovering the non-soul destroying bits of the internet (which has been a relevation, I had no idea metafilter was still here after all this time.) I have no clue if anyone still reads blogs in the time of influencers and big tech walled gardens monopolising the entire internet, but I figured if anyone still does it's the people here.
Do any of you maintain active blogs? Do you read them? Where do you find new ones and keep track of updates? (I'm guessing maybe RSS feeds?) What would be the best way to set a blog up in 2023 - bearing in mind frugality is key due to the concept? It doesn't matter too much to me if I get very many readers and I'm not interested in monetising this in any way, I just like the idea of putting my thoughts out there as I go (I thought maybe I should consider a neocities site? But I'd be starting more or less from scratch with html and while that sounds like a fun skill to learn, it might distract from the main purpose of the exercise.)
