Moving back home
In short: I'm now blogging back at my own website, Robyn's Secret Passage. Come on over.
---
So, I last updated my website design in early 2001. Then a few months after that I started making a new one. I wanted to have a cool design held together with CSS, and I wanted all the content stored in a nice, neat database.
But whereas HTML is easy and anyone can do it (just like playing the guitar), CSS and PHP and SQL made my brain hurt so I put my apparently lofty ideas on hold.
Then in late 2002 I started a LiveJournal account just cos everyone else had one. But soon it appeared that putting stuff up on LJ was a million times easier than sticking it on my website, which involved hand-coded HTML and uploading the files via FTP. So LJ became my default place for putting stuff I'd written.
But then a funny thing happened. Technology caught up and my lofty ideas from 2001 weren't so lofty after all. WordPress came along and seemingly had it all, and eventually I found myself with what I wanted.
Over the last few months I've been furiously tweaking it to get it working, and at last it is ready for public consumption.
So here we go: Robyn's Secret Passage, version something-point-0.
This means I won't be updating here no more, but I have made a LJ syndication feed (because I love you), so if you still want to read my stuff on your LJ Friends page, you can:
http://syndicated.livejournal.com/robyn
And as a bonus - and this is perhaps slightly more exciting - I have a Facebook account now too!
