Could you elaborate on your choice of using "sam -d"? It does make
things easier to translate into a textual blog format, without having
to worry about the windows. On the other hand, without the graphical
interface, sam is really just a super-enhanced ed(1), which is
certainly useful in itself but (in my opinion) not as convenient.
You might also consider making some youtube videos if you feel
confident enough; I made a few some years back and they were generally
well-received by the random youtubers who found them. Just please make
sure the things you're talking about are accurate--spreading bad
information about Plan 9 is worse than doing nothing :)
