Commonplace Work

Commonplace

A personal site that holds four kinds of content without four separate blogs.

This site. Built to hold notes, photographs, projects, and references in one place, with one set of conventions rather than four.

Constraints

  • Static output, no server
  • Content in Markdown, versioned in git
  • One tagging system across every collection

Structure

Every entry carries the same metadata, whichever collection it belongs to: title, summary, date, tags, channels, audience. That is what lets one tag gather work from all four, and what keeps the navigation honest. A section with nothing published never appears.
