A couple of days ago I enjoyed reading James’s list of things to do on your website and, as he suggests by the end, I thought of a few more to add to the list. These are things I’ve either already done here or thought about doing but decided not to, or plan to eventually do:
Also note how, if you are not into tinkering with the layout, most website section ideas double as “things to write about in your blog”3.
This reminds me of the Borges hack: instead of executing an idea he had for a novel, he would write a summary of it as a short story, or an essay pretending someone else had already written it4.
Which, in turn, reminds me of its software equivalent: instead of implementing a project, write a blog post about it or a README file on an empty git repository, as if the project already existed.
