I think what I like about it is the privacy - a lot of digital gardens that I've seen, and the people who tend to talk the loudest about "learning in public," are often about coding or business, which seem like low-stakes things to mess up?
That's true! A lot of the personal sites I come across are usually run by somebody who codes for a living and while they do put up some personal stuff it's often a site they clearly want to use for networking. Privacy is definitely a concern. I've seen people make locked journal sections on neocities, but they are so easy to get around. I definitely appreciate the ability to make locked posts on Dw.
I was thinking mostly of using digital gardening for reviews that I post, because I tend to revisit things and realize that I am often harsh on the first pass. Tables of contents is a great idea! I like to micro-organize things, but don't want a million tags so I should try that out.
I don't mind at all! The characters page is one of the reasons I even tried making a website in the first place. It really is a lot of fun! I like trying my best to design pages and make them pretty or themed. I hope you can have fun making one too!
