Daily blogging, if that is still a thing, is a younger person's game. Far too many people did better things than I did with more and less resources, and I can't compete.

Finally last year I realized the 25th anniversary was coming up, I sort of made peace with the fact that my plans would never come to fruition, and it was better to end it cleanly than let it drag on a slow death.
So, that July, I posted a goodbye, and that was that.

... because the old .net site was so scattered with what worked and what didn't. But I had lost the desire and drive. Couldn't keep up with it due to life and work, and only kept it online because of my constant hope it would change. 3/

In 2017 or 2018, I lost my domain thanks to the owner of my registar suddenly vanishing and the website stop working. Couldn't get it back. Got the .net but that broke things. Never recovered fully from that.
In 2021 or so I made one final run at it with a new domain and new instance of WP 2/

I first did hand coded HTML files. After a few years, I created my own CMS using SHTML and standard header/footer/menu blobs as includes. I switched domains in 2005. In 2008(?) I switched to WordPress. 1/

I posted my goodbye 25 years to the day after starting it, and I haven't posted anything since. If I ever do post anything again, I'll probably start fresh because the old site is a mess of several domains and incompatible posting systems.

I, too, am in whatever place retired website owners go to once you realize shutting down the site is preferable to letting it just stagnate. Or at least, that's what I did.

The amount of joy I got from seeing them again was surprisingly large, and it was like finding old friends again.
It's that kind of joy I missed from social media, and quite frankly, a lot of my digital presence. It's the same joy I got when I was writing and posting regularly. 2/2

I am so over complex transformations. Give me a simple but fun one any day of the week. Like Siege Sideswipe -- it's easy, it's satisfying, and it just works.
