Yes, it’s been a while 🙂
Weblogs.us has been quietly running in the background since our last status update. The servers are still humming at the datacenter, blogs are still live, and the lights have stayed on. But “keeping the lights on” isn’t the same as moving forward, and it’s time to change that.
The web has changed dramatically since 2016. AI tools like Claude Code, modern hosting architectures, and new approaches to content management have opened up possibilities that didn’t exist when we last posted here. We’re exploring how to use these tools responsibly to modernize Weblogs.us: better performance, better security, and a better experience for our bloggers, without losing what made this platform worth building in the first place.
As part of that process, one of our admins put together a deep dive on the hardware and workflow side of working with AI tools professionally. If you’re curious about what a modern AI-assisted workstation looks like (or if you just like reading about tech builds), check it out:
The Ultimate Claude Code Workstation, a hardware guide for people who actually work with AI.
The post covers everything from $500 starter setups to full-stack AI workshops, along with the software, ergonomics, and workflow habits that make it all sustainable. It’s the kind of thinking that will power what’s coming next for Weblogs.us. (For the record, that same admin still rocks a rather antiquated triple-monitor 1080p setup driven by a non-cutting-edge Samsung laptop on a Thunderbolt dock. Better hardware is available, but that rig has been rock solid for years. Sometimes the best setup is the one that just works.)
We’re hoping to hear from our other admins and, even more, from our bloggers. Weblogs.us has always been a community, and we’d love to feature some of our longtime bloggers in the coming months, the way we used to. If you’ve got a workstation setup, a workflow, or just thoughts on where blogging and AI tools intersect, let’s discuss. Drop a comment or get in touch.
More to come. Thanks for sticking around 🙂
