I’ll post more in this vein soon, but in the meantime, Zeldman’s <a href="https://alistapart.com/article/nothing-fails-like-success/">recent article on the indie web</a> is worth reading.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Decided to stop posting my art to Instagram.
