Digital Gardens

I'm

that a digital garden is best understood through a philosophy rather than through artefacts or process.

Whilst

, I think there are commonalities across :

1. Dynamic, not static. A digital garden should evolve and grow over time: write, revisit, edit.
2. Through the rabbit hole. Visitors should be able to get lost (and tweet about enjoying this as an experience!).
3. Above all, personal. This is like Orwell's sixth rule of the English language: you should sooner break any of the earlier guidelines than do something which feels inauthentic to yourself.

This leads to things like:

• explicitly unfinished notes
  - a digital garden is in
  permanent beta
• bi-directionality
  to create the rabbit hole

has some really excellent resources and thought-pieces on digital gardening:

1. The best place to start is her
   'Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden'
