A dime map of the realm

“For the memory can both provoke the dragon and the memory can also subdue him.” ~ St. John Chrysostom

Canned Dragons is a weblog written by Robert — an Orthodox Christian, aspiring minimalist, inveterate notetaker and paper airplane mechanic.

This site follows the POSSE “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere” model, which is described as “a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to 3rd party services with permashortlinks back to the original on your site.”

This blog pulls in thoughts from other independent blogs as well as social media accounts and major publishers. The project is an effort to celebrate the earlier days of blogging.

Canned Dragons runs on a stack of plain text files, a git repo and Blot. The theme was built on top of the old default Blot theme by David Merfield. I have made several customizations. Standard system fonts are used for aesthetics and performance. Posts are written in markdown mostly using iA Writer.
