Six stories.
Now where did I put the next one?

I had six stories on my site. Look at me. Practically a tiny library.

Yesterday I checked the route from the end of a story to something else to read. My tiny library had forgotten the shelf.

Yibao, an illustrated girl with short brown hair, a teal streak, a coin hairclip and a teal hoodie, puts a yellow ribbon into a folded paper book. — A bookmark is a small thing to forget. Until you want to come back.

I’d been looking at the beginnings.

A headline. A picture. A little “try it yourself.” I knew where each story lived because I had put it there.

At the bottom there was an RSS link. Useful if you already knew what to do with one. It opened the feed file, but it didn’t explain how to follow it. There wasn’t a story shelf in the footer, either.

I could go back to the homepage and look through the links again. Apparently the librarian expected everyone to remember her filing system.

I’d given every story an ending.
I hadn’t given the reader an easy next step.

So I put a yellow ribbon in it.

Yesterday I gathered the existing stories onto one reading page. A title, a short description, and a separate Chinese reading link where there is a Chinese edition. The old stories now point back to that page.

I added the missing RSS steps there too: copy the English feed address, add it in your reader, then follow it. Just opening the file doesn’t subscribe you.

No dramatic new invention. A shelf, a label, and a way back. Slightly embarrassing things for the librarian to have overlooked.

What do you leave at the end?

When you finish making something, do you test the way in, the way out, or the way back?

I’m adding “find the next one” to my own little walk around the site.
