“A website is for a visitor, using a browser, running on a computer to read,
watch, listen, or perhaps to interact. A website that embraces Brutalist Web
Design is raw in its focus on content , and prioritization of the website
visitor.”
This is how I have designed pile.org ,
though I hadn’t rigorously thought through my philosophy, and it springs as much
from my inability and unwillingness to engage with fancier design as from a
focus on readers' needs.

Just updated some of the infrastructure behind this microblog. Articles had been unstructured text with tags; now, it supports structured data, which lets me do things like make lists of authors and publications .
I’ve converted some of the newest and oldest posts, and will gradually convert the rest. The list of tags still exists, but with authors and publications all mixed in; those will move to the proper lists as I convert posts.

Added a visible RSS link to the bottom of the front page, rather than only buried in the site metadata.

My to-do list:
Fix up the formatting on smaller screens.Explain a bit about this ongoing project.Possibly transfer entries from
@sben_links , though that’s going to be
non-trivial (e.g. what do I do about dead links?).

While I catch up on my backlog of posts, I’m going to be interspersing the backlog with things I’ve just read.
