WHAT ARE SIFTINGS?

After running my WordPress and Blogger blogs side by side for two months now, it's become clearer how to make the two blogs work more efficiently.

 WordPress works better for longer posts where the more advanced features on things like formatting and image galleries comes in handy. Because the home feed is just displaying the featured image and the few first lines of text, it works well for displaying a library of full length blog posts.

What WordPress is not so good for is short posts with just one or two images or one line of text. It rapidly becomes cluttered, and because you need to click on each post to actually view it, it just doesn't work for looking at dozens of short posts (AKA. "shitposts" or "tweets")

 Meanwhile Blogger really comes into it's own for doing short posts, where the homepage displays each post in full, and you can scroll down an endless stream of posts that all seem to merge into one.

Two main drawbacks of Blogger are that all these short posts go pretty much unseen in search engines so it's unlikely many people will ever see them, and because Blogger is owned by Google there is always the risk that they will one day blacklist the blog or even delete it altogether.
 

So my plan is to keep using my WordPress blog www.frot.co.nz for full length posts but post my short random posts on Blogger. 

I'm not going to call them "shitposts" because everything I post is awesome, or "tweets" because Elon Musk is a dickhead and Twatter sucks anyway, but I will tag them "SIFTINGS". And once a month I'll copy the whole lot as a single blog post on WordPress. That way they will be backed up and they will become a full length post with enough content to possibly be noticed by search engines.

And that is my cunning plan behind the "siftings" tag.
