Replied to Robb Knight (rknight.me)

My post on automating my /now page was very popular and I am proud of what I managed to do but I’ve been thinking for a while it’s very impersonal. It’s data. It’s not a page written by me in any meaningful way.

Leon had some similar thoughts on this with an idea for each blog post being a section of a page but rendered as one. The end goal for him, and me, is that the new additions get syndicated via RSS, POSSE, and so forth. I like the idea of redirecting /now to the latest post tagged as now so one could see the latest version of what I’m doing now.

I have always been interested in the idea of a Now page, it is something that I miss about my newsletter. However, I felt that replacing the content loses the history. I really like the idea of writing a post and having /Now pick up the latest post.
