It’s so easy to just open an app window, write a few lines and hit send. I write hundreds of social posts for every “real” blog post.

WordPress is a vital resource that hasn’t taken undue advantage of its users like other free, hosted services have done. But right now, it’s not for me. The one thing I miss about blogging with a static-site generator is the lack of native comments. It’s the one thing self-hosted WordPress (aka WordPress.org) gets right. It’s probably because WP was “doing” comments before Twitter and Facebook came along. Back then, social was comments.
