You got me too. Was thinking what a freaking clickbait article then I loved it. Epic! 😁
got a new follower.

Going to go blog about: "Top 3 Ways To Fool Readers Into Hating You And Then Make Them Fall In Love". Am I getting the hang of it?

I blog mostly for myself and is a online portfolio. However more engagement and building a "personal brand" could be something I could slowly start improving on even if it's not my primary goal.

This was a good reminder to get me thinking about that.

Take for instance this post:
sheldonhull.com/blog/improving-loc...

That was just a functional title I wrote nothing really engaging. If I had done something a little more interesting like Ditch Your Makefiles for Yaml consumed by a Gopher. That would be a heck of a lot more interesting ☺️
