Because on our planet, you only get emails about your 2FA code, or that one game in your steam wishlist that gets a 87% discount every 3 weeks. + +But no, it wasn't a spam. Just a nice person who sent me a nice email. + +This email really made my day. Knowing that someone took the time to read the content of my website made the whole _**installing nginx to then spend few days [configuring hugo](https://github.com/aledenshi/hugo)**_ proccess worth it. + +_(thank you for your email)_ + +## Blogs are cool + +I really like to read blog posts from other people on the web. When you read about someone else's thoughts, you really listen to what **they** have to say, you can't really stop them to then start to talk about yourself like in a conversation. (+ blog is a great resource to learn things) + +I really think that having a blog is cool, you should have one. I host mine all by myself but I'm sure that there is another solution if you can't do that. + +I think that you already know this but : Don't write blogs about something that is illegal or to hurt someone else's feeling. Be kind to the people around, especially to people that you don't know. + +## Back to emails + +### Don't let 'mailto:' links scare you + +I never leave comments on youtube videos, I never send emails to people that write blogs neither. But this email changed my mind. Why not after all ? + +You might see me in your inbox someday if I find your website. + +### XMPP + +I don't like emails because you can't really know if someone did receive your mail. I will try to setup an XMPP server. You can contact me there if you don't like emails too. -- cgit v1.2.3
