Digital gardens let you cultivate your own little bit of the internet

For a bit I was running these "Personal Website Tours"[0] and had a couple of folks mentioned in this article do one! They're basically just an interview around their websites, how they maintain them, how they originated. It's fascinating seeing the different workflows people come up with, and how they intersect with their personal goals.

Having your own website is an incredibly powerful tool because of the diversity of ways you can use it. It's only getting easier to do so, especially with the massive amount of static site generators available today. I do think it can get even more accessible though. I ran a lil course [1] earlier this month that aimed to provide a supportive environment for people getting started with it.

Check this podcast out[1]. Guest speaks about their personal website (and HTML energy).

EDIT: hey, your tours are absolutely awesome!

Thanks! I'm a big fan of html.energy.

Also, I'm planning on picking up the tours again soon, so if you, or anyone else, has some suggestions for folks it'd be cool to see, let me know!
