Journal Page

Editorial OS

Journal-First Model

1. Home base: publish the full canonical post on this site.
2. Spokes: adapt for X, LinkedIn, Medium, and Substack.
3. Loop: all external posts link back to canonical.

Canonical + Cross-Post Policy

• Publish here first.
• On Medium/Substack, include:
  • “Originally published at https://basinleon.github.io/docs/”
• Keep one canonical URL per post.

Weekly Distribution Routine

• Day 1: publish canonical post.
• Day 2: post X thread adaptation.
• Day 3: post LinkedIn angle.
• Day 4: post short Medium/Substack adaptation.
• Day 7: post recap with one key insight and link back.

Visual Identity Rules

• Use one consistent headline pattern:
  • “How I [verb] [result] by [system/action]”
• Use one cover image style:
  • simple title block + system diagram/shape
• Keep typography and tone consistent across channels.

Tracking Cadence

• Weekly:
  • top pages
  • referral sources
  • shares and saves
• Monthly:
  • top 3 topics to double down on
  • top 3 formats to improve or cut
