Rationale:
As I’ve been organizing System Sally, I’ve realized it is about time to have a more standard way of composing System Sally entries
System:
Have a single-word title (descriptive adjectives can follow this one word by a comma to make it clearer to the reader what kind of entries I am referring to, for example). Start off with a rationale, then explain the system, then list the advantages of this system to make it clear to the reader why I think my system is worth practicing. This list of advantages also helps open up dialogue, because it is easier to disagree with a list of advantages than the unexplaining system itself. This list will be a bulleted list, and will not be listed in order of importance. Then offer the reader a status message on the system, which can be @new, @wip (which is similar to @new by shows that I have not finalized it for myself, in that moment at least), @current, which means it is the most current iteration and has a link to the previous version, @previous, which means it is not the current version but has a link to the previous version, and @next, which means that it has been updated. @new tags will not have a link, but @current and @previous both link to the previous iteration, and @next links to the more recent iteration, in some cases the most current.
Advantages:
- I will enjoy posting more, because it will be more systematic
- Readers will get more out of the posts because they will be clearer
