story of my life 😔

go 4 it!! it doesnt matter if it's self-indulgent if u like it.. its ur site after all!!

do it!

My whole site is self indulgent lmao, people seem to like it anyway. :)

thanks for the encouragement y'all ;w;

idk how to even describe this but y'know how people do english covers of songs but then just totally bs the lyrics instead of a translation? and when you look up translations it's so literal? i kinda wanna do a mashup of like, as close to the og meaning as possible, but where syllables match melodies

(i'm doing Research to see if wordpress is viable for freebie blogging but also if i can just use it for simple updates archives and whatnot)

There was a guide on using WordPress to make a neocites blog a few years ago. I don't remember who hosted it but if I do I'll let you know

thank you honey!

da is good for finding assets but be wary of that sometimes ppl do this kinda shit lol. there's been several times i've been familiar with a sozai site and seen a da user posting something very slightly edited with a notice like this and i'm like icarlyinterestingmeme.jpg

this was legit a spur-of-the-moment Whim that i Ran with, but i'm p serious about it lol. please check it out!

i think diaries hosted on neocities are fine, but the community built around the livejournals of yesteryear was truly incredible and fun

also i see ppl archiving 100x100 icons and i'm like "yaaas now let's use them on the journaling platforms they were made for" lmao. i also think it can be more convenient for making entries instead of manually doing everything but that's just me

did i get on this bc i, too, am making a 100x100 icon page? Perhaps...

the livejournal days were the best! totally creating an account.

they were so fun! oooooh what's your username? 👀

add me! killkilldi

i subbed and granted access! i'm sinew over there <3

i looked a bit into dreamwidth but i've never really used a platform like that before, what's the community there like?

that's a difficult question to answer because part of old journal-site culture is subcommunities within it? so the overall dreamwidth community i would say is unfortunately not very active because journaling platforms just aren't as popular ): but there's some sub-communities that flourish, like colors_tgc, and online trading card game! i think i'm going to make an article discussing various journaling platforms

[cont] and hope it helps explain what they used to be like and how we can revive them ;w;
