Well, i suppose it makes sense to do that if what one aims for is for one's conlang to be noted and/or notable... but then again, just how notable is Miekko's blog, which seems very interesting but I have no recollection of ever hearing about it in the past, is anyway?

At any rate, I'm all for the overthrowing of the tradition that "the beggining of a conlang is a phoneme inventory and a few typological traits". I'm myself starting with lexicon with my current one, we shall see how it goes.
