New Blog Smell? Again?!
Soooo, I have been blogging since before you were born (probably), and I have this giant, bloated WordPress blog with years worth of broken links, missing images, obsolete Flash embeds, embarrassing old posts, and what have you.
I recently updated it to the latest version, and it works, but...
I hate it. With a vengeance.
I hate writing in it, I hate how unwieldy and slow it is, so much so that I have never publicized it on fedi.
Meanwhile, I keep seeing WriteFreely posts in my Mastodon feed, and I like reading them, the look, the typography, the simplicity.
I wish I could host my own instance, but I don’t have the bandwidth right now, so I finally bit the bullet and opened a blog on this server, and added a few recent posts to it.
Easy-peasy. Such a pleasure to use!
And if you’re reading this, it probably means I’ve actually publicized it on the fediverse.
Which doesn’t mean I won’t change my mind and nuke it.
Time will tell...
