About Micro.blog
Micro.blog is the fastest way to blog and a safe community for microbloggers. Micro.blog is the blog you will actually use.
Micro.blog shows recent posts from sites and people you are following. Microblog posts are short — quick thoughts, links to web sites, and replies to friends. It's a fast timeline that's powered by the open web.
Blogs hosted on Micro.blog include:
* Short microblog posts or full-length posts.
* Markdown for styling.
* Custom themes.
* Categories, photos, podcasts, video, and more.
Already have a blog? Use Micro.blog to follow friends and post to external blogs compatible with WordPress and the Micropub API.
Instead of trying to be a full social network, Micro.blog is a thin layer that glues the open web together, making it more useful. Micro.blog adds discovery and conversations on top of previously unconnected blog posts.
