The ideas for some of my blog posts come from what I read in Readwise, but I am trying to find a simply way to keep track of those ideas. Today I experimented with a few options, one are to add links to those potential source posts to this site which is what you see immediately below but Drummer does not work well on the small screen of the iPad Mini.#
I then thought I would try using Wordland and publish the sources as items on my linkblog and associate them to their own category, which I have done here. Wordland works much better on the iPad Mini and markdown gets rendered nicely on the Wordpress site.#
The simplest approach, however, is to add a document tag in Readwise to the source article and be sure highlight something on the page so that the entry syncs to Obsidian. I can then create a page in Obsidian with the name of the tag, I use blog-post, and then all of the tagged articles appear in the Linked mentions section of the note.#
As a long time fan and user of tablet computers I pay attention to what Apple does with the iPad and I am fascinated by the changes coming in iPadOS 26, particularly for what that means on the iPad Mini. #
Over my 37 career in IT I have seen how over time how the skills of the people with whom I work has decreased and now I know why.#
Wondering how well I can write in Drummer using the iPad Mini. #
