Let’s kick it off with Simon Willison: co-creator of Django and creator of Datasette. I called my blog “Simon Willison’s Weblog” because I wanted to deliberately start attaching my real name to my writing. My blogging back when I started was an extension of my all-consuming message forum habit. I also really enjoy link blogging, and wrote about that in My approach to running a link blog. Posting to a link blog often takes just 15 minutes and is a great way to bring short-form writing to your blog.
