One method I've used which puts some additional pressure on me to work on side projects is to write them out in the open in a public GitHub repo. Even though there's probably nobody following your development, the idea that anyone could be following along can provide some motivation to keep going.

Wondering how people feel about analytics on small sites such as these? Including a Google Analytics tag seems to go against the ethos of such a site, but a lot of people like to know who is visiting their blog and so including some sort of analytics should be an option.
Self hosting seems to be a decent tradeoff. Analytics services like Fathom [0], which provides a free, self-hosted solution, let you track basic statistics about your site without the data being siphoned off to some company. I have seen discussion around whether the use of analytics should even be necessary, but I feel like that's a separate conversation :)
