Like Introducing Mochi — and thoughts on analytics and webmentions | Meadow...

This is interesting. Meadow has built a small analytics app but it also supports both the sending and receiving of webmentions. For those who don't like analytics, he says "you can still use the webmentions functionality without using the analytics tracker!"

I'm all for more simple ways to use webmentions as they're such a great way of communicating between blogs.

I've been re-reading Brandon's post "Maybe I need a soft reboot" and thinking about my own experience with the blog at present.

I've not been blogging or using the journal much lately; for once, it's not because of my mental health. Well, not directly.

Since finishing my Talking Therapy, and having a bit of an epiphany during the last couple of sessions, I feel like my priorities have changed, or maybe gotten a bit confused. Maybe they've gotten straightened out.

I'm not blogging (now) because of poor mental health but because slowly emerging out the other side has changed things. I'm not sure how but it has. In some ways I am full of thoughts and ideas, but in others I am empty, drained. I think coming to terms with some things during therapy was a bit exhausting. It's almost like I've opened myself up, spilt it all out, and now need to fill the void that's left.

Music continues to be my focus while I struggle to find motivation and words for writing. That's despite a desire — almost a need — to get back in the habit.

Like Brandon, it makes me wonder if I need to change things up a bit. Perhaps it is just needing to get back in the habit and, once I get started, the words will flow.
