    • Blogging as a way to find the people who care

      This blog entry is - as probably many others in the future will be - an expansion upon a few posts I made on Blorbo a couple days ago.

      A few days ago I got an email from Livejournal saying it was the 16th anniversary of my first LJ account- Which surprised me because I'd genuinely forgotten I'd switched LJ accounts after a point. The change was done entirely because of my username back then: I no longer liked my handle but account rename tokens cost money and I was thereabouts of 14 at the time, so what I did was painstakingly copy/paste my entries to the account I used until around 2012 and then imported to Dreamwidth.

      I shoot a quick post (that evolves into that small thread on blorbo and now into this post) about that on my private twitter as I have Dreamwidth import the entries. I hadn't read the entry where I said I'd already copied the entries over when I moved accounts before I hit 'start import' but just shrugged since one can never have too many backups, just to make sure I kept everything captured, ready in case one day I needed to go down memory lane.

      Which uh. I don't actually do that often? 😅

    • Tags and userpics get!

      Posted on

      Every day I put (or plan to put) new things on the site. 😅

      So the new things today are: Adding Ojou's guestbook entry, which made me redesign the guestbook page slightly, and I added userpics to my blog entries! Like we're on LJ or DW! And both frankly taught me A LOT about how Astro collections work, specially since they also kinda changed up a little with Astro 2.5.

      And now I also have tags on my blog entries! As it stands I don't really have any entries tagged with anything other than site updates lol. I do swear I want to use this site for proper blogging, but it's literally half one at this point after what I thought would be a short push to get everything finalized earlier this evening (and a month and a half after I first started building the tagging system) 🥱 The actual blogging ends up suffering a little over me building the bridge as I cross it! 😂😂😂
