A blog is (by default) additive. You append by adding a new post, the items are ordered by date of creation, and you rarely remove old content.

If you look at the author's /now page, it's very clearly not that: https://sive.rs/now.



Some people are recording previous /now posts, which I will probably do as well, as it could be interesting to see how my life changes over the year (I really enjoy reading previous "Year Compasses.")

However it's very obviously not a blog since a blog encompasses a much larger concept. You can blog about your hobbies, interests, specific topics, related or otherwise. I'm confused at the OP's confusion between a blog and a /now page.

Hm? And you can also blog the same content as you put on /now. Many people do. A public journal of whatever is going on in author's life is pretty much the OG idea of a weblog.


Ok so it’s a blog homepage: like a blog, but truncated to the last X months/years.
