Hi! So weird to be back here. Like an elementary school reunion, or at least, wandering through the empty building and remembering what it was like to learn the basics.
How many times have I created a first post? I’ve got to say, after rebuilding my site so many times (usually because it’s been hacked), the novelty has worn off. I’ve had so many iterations of websites over the years, and it’s SUPER bizarre to go back and look at them…which I did! I wanted some perspective; and I think I found it.
I’ve realized that — pretty much all along, since my first site — I wanted to have my own little corner of the web, to share what I do, for people to see my stuff, and want to see more. I wanted to make the sort of place that’s easy enough to put everything I want up there, but also easy to maintain. AND easy to restore, for when (not if) it falls apart.
And foolishly, I think I’ve got it, now! This version is fun to update, and fairly easy to maintain. We’ll see how smooth it handles once its wheels fall off (courtesy of bad actors or “improved new code”), but for the moment: huzzah and happy birthday, you silly little website. I wish you a long and fruitful life!
Thanks for your eyeballs folks, and please come on back.
