I've returned to micro.blog after a journey through Wordpress, Joomla and good old fashioned HTML.

I liked my 'small web' site, kept returning to it after other CMS based sites.

I'd decided my HTML site was getting too complicated and needed a CMS (Joomla) to streamline navigation and ease management. Having resurrected Joomla, and put a lot of work into the site, I realised that a CMS wasn't helping: because it can handle complicated sites there was a tendency to over-complicate the content - the CMS was exacerbating the problem. My Small Web site didn't need the additional layer of management - Keep It Simple!

Joomla has its quirks: the final straw was the way it inaccurately categorised the latest photography article I'd added, incorrectly nesting it within the breadcrumb and failing to display it within a list of categories it had been manually assigned to.

I returned to my HTML site, but it still felt like it was lacking something, the same 'something' that kept me looking towards something extra: then I remembered micro.blog.
