Essay List presents six essays as ruled rows, each showing the title, the publication name directly below, and on the right a read time and a date, all in tabular numerals. The heading is plain Writing and the lede qualifies the audience, mostly for practitioners who already know the basics. The item count, 6 essays, appears at the top right. Publications range from A List Apart and Increment to a Personal entry for the piece published without a commissioning outlet.
Essays are one array with a uniform shape. Surfacing publication and read time per row is the distinctive choice: a writer without famous bylines can still show where the work appeared and whether readers stayed.
Reach for this block as the full-archive section of a writing portfolio or a standalone essays page. The installer swaps titles, publications, dates, read times, and link targets for their own published pieces.

Tip: a Personal entry in the publication column is more honest than leaving the field blank for self-published pieces.
