I was on bluesky today and I saw someone mention that they had gotten a dreamwidth after realizing it was a fork of livejournal, and I thought to myself "this might solve all my problems!" Those problems were specifically:
This platform seems neat, you can follow people and make communities entirely through dreamwidth, though I suspect at some point we will still integrate a more platform agnostic Abnormal Mapping webring (if someone wants to just do that I have no desire to run it, you have my blessing assuming you're a member of the community hanging out in the website channel). I even have an RSS! I need to add it to the side bar, and to the main site, but it should hopefully work now. If it doesn't someone let me know, I don't currently have a reader.
Also the blog has comments built in. I'm of two minds about this, my original idea was to not have comments and people had to email in if they wanted to get a hold of me, but honestly nobody's ever going to do that and I solicit too many emails as is, so I'll put comments on and only do something else if people get weird about it.
God, it's nice to use a WYSIWYG editor again. I'm just not hardcore enough for the html page life when I want to get my thoughts out.
Anyway, I'm hoping this will get me the jolt of energy I need to get back to writing and working on stuff, though who knows with how busy I am these days. I'll do my best. I really do want to sit down and spend some time working on the static neocities page, though, and that's a huge time investment for very little output. I at least want to get started on my controllers page, just as a resource for me if nothing else.
I'm going to try to keep this to one topic, and hopefully it'll inspire me to post more if I have more to say later in the week. Hopefully people don't mind me flaking a bit on my platform, and enjoy having an RSS finally. If you have a dreamwidth, let me know, there's like some sort of feed you can build within the platform and I'd like to check it out and see what other people are up to.
Until next time, keep dreamin'
- not having an RSS for the blog portion of my website
- not liking having to update everything through raw ass html
- wishing zonelets looked more like livejournal
- the whole thing feeling shaky and thus leading me to fret over blogging backends instead of actually working on the website
