I'm stuck at a crossroads between what to do with my own. Not sure if I want to make it more of a documentation/wiki style site for everything I'm interested in or if I want to treat it more like a blog. I've got it hooked up to ActivityPub now and I'm intrigued by the possibilities that brings to the table, but I don't think I'd want it to replace my Mastodon account, which puts it in a weird sort of limbo.

So I want to know, what do you use your own website for?

Mine is a collection of notes that I want to reference later. Sometimes I share a link with someone who is interested in the same topic.

The front couple of pages have my social media biography and a link to my public resume. Stuff that looks good if a potential employer searches for my name.

The rest is poorly organized notes for my own future reference. Admittedly, "I wrote a blog article on that. I'll send you the link." is a common phrase I utter, to friends, in person. I never check back if they read it. Once in an incredibly long time someone later tells me it was pretty helpful.

I did setup a bot to automatically post links onto my existing Mastodon account, from my RSS feed. I've gotten occasional positive feedback on Mastodon, for doing so.
