1. Update Frequency#

If I include my diary entries, I’m probably updating faster than 99% of webmasters nationwide (lol).

But if we only count proper articles, then it’s probably one or two per week.

2. Last Update#

Pretty much yesterday! My update frequency is still quite high.

My current publishing workflow is: write, sync, build, deploy. The technical side isn’t the biggest issue; the problem has become “should I even publish this?” because I lack confidence, and many things have already been posted by others online. But, how to put it, if I only want exclusive content, it’s really difficult and unrealistic. So, I’ll just accept the gap and keep publishing!

3. Originality#

Originality? Absolutely. Youthful musings, you know. But if we’re talking about a human touch, it’s probably still lacking a bit. Usually, I’ll think of a topic, then have AI generate a rough draft for me, and then I’ll modify it myself based on that draft. This very post is an example (lol).

4. Helpfulness to Others#

I definitely think my bookmark resource compilation should be quite useful, yeah.

And then there’s the style of my navigation site; I once pulled out a pretty good-looking design that drew praise from many community members and became a template and source of inspiration for some. That should count as quite helpful.

And my articles, being seen, thought about, and commented on by others, should also be helpful.

Recently, I’ve also written some tutorial articles and plan to link them with videos, so the tutorials and videos can complement each other.

5. Last Theme or Software Change#

The blog’s foundation is Mizuki, and the theme is pretty much set. If we’re talking about adding small things, then I’ve gradually added some minor services and such.

6. Last Time Tinkering with Theme Code#

That’s pretty much now, since when I’m intensely reviewing my own blog and admiring others’, I always want to tweak things that are similar or didn’t feel quite right after actual use.

7. Secondary Development#

As for the navigation page, it was a gacha-luck explosion (lol), developed entirely by Claude Code.

For the blog, if ‘secondary development’ means adding other things on top of the original, then yes, it counts.

8. How Often Do I Check My Own Blog#

Pretty much every day, since I’ve been tinkering with these things lately, you know.

9. Feelings About the Domain Name#

sayori.org It’s quite complex for me right now, but I still think it’s okay. Sayori is an angel! And .org is a domain suffix for open-source public welfare organizations, which is super cool!

10. Do I Check Traffic#

I only recently developed the backend functionality to view these things (whipping Codex into shape). I glance at it occasionally, and I’ve also been optimizing SEO and such. My score on the self-built rating site is steadily increasing.

11. Do I Make Money from Ads#

No.

For now, I don’t want to put ads on the blog; I want to keep this space clean.

If I really need to recoup costs later, it’ll more likely be through sponsorship links, showcasing work, service entry points, or ads within videos.

12. Why I Read Other People’s Blogs#

Mainly to see others’ tech, blog styles, their online persona, to connect, and to learn.

On these small websites, I sometimes find many tech articles that interest me, but what I enjoy most are those very real personal records. They give me a sense of shared humanity, making the world feel more vibrant.

In this AI era, the technical cost of building a blog is lower, so I hope to see more interesting blogs in other fields.

13. First Reaction When Opening Someone Else’s Article#

First, I look at the theme and style, then the content.

14. The Most Important Thing for a Blog#

Content and a human touch.

I think if a blog uses AI to write everything, it’s unnecessary. It’s normal to use AI to operate accounts on other big social platforms, but if it’s just a personal blog and you’re not even there, then it loses its meaning.

15. Recent Gains from Blogging#

It allows me to feel like I’m continuously producing, creating, and building in public. Compared to independent game development, which I don’t know how to start, this is more comfortable, I guess. But, deep down, isn’t this also a form of escapism…?

Sigh, the effort I put into other areas just to maintain my output… Making games, it’s really hard… Coming up with fun gameplay, an interesting world, memorable characters, unique art style, perfect music, smooth programming, appropriate scope… But, I still can’t give up, can I? Because games truly are the most comprehensive form… So, I’ll just keep going. As I write, I also sort myself out, and that’s a gain from blogging! Although writing notes is pretty similar, if I write it out for others to see, maybe it can touch them too…

I’ve become better at expressing myself and writing tutorial articles, I guess? Although I feel my articles, just like my videos, are still a bit of a mess… but at least I’m doing it… but I can’t comfort myself with that; a mess is a mess… so, that’s how it is.

Postscript#

I had AI help me pull out these interesting questions to answer, and then I found out the original questionnaire was multiple-choice!? I’m dead.
