I’ve been working on a small content-driven side project in the sustainability / pet care space for a while now. Nothing flashy, just long-form articles and steady publishing.
One thing I didn’t expect was how quickly things became messy once I started sharing content across different platforms.
After a few months, I had:
articles on my own site
references on places like Medium, Vocal, etc.
profile links scattered across platforms
no single place where I could see everything at a glance
I wasn’t trying to “build a network” or optimise anything aggressively — I just kept losing track of where I’d mentioned what.
So I built a very simple solution for myself: a plain index page that lists external references and related resources in one place.
It’s not fancy, and it’s not meant for anyone else. The goal was purely organisational:
one URL I could check
one place Google could crawl
one place I could update when I published something new
Here’s the index page as it exists right now:

What surprised me is how much calmer the process feels when everything is visible. I spend less time wondering whether something has been indexed, whether I’ve duplicated effort, or whether a platform has dropped a page.
