I was looking at the Wayback machine today, at how my spindlitis site used to look. I really loved the look of it and had a lot of fun changing the color schemes and putting in little ornaments. I changed it, because table based formats were outdated and I never managed to get a CSS version set up. So now, it’s basically a dead page. I used Tumblr, which has a great look, but doesn’t interest me the way the old system did. Even using Word Press for this blog is a bit boring, although you’d think the simplicity of it would make me blog more often. It doesn’t work out that way. I’m just not as engaged with it. What seems to be worse is that there is no way to make an online archive with these tools, the way that the old html pages were archived. It’s as though the site is gone.
I don’t have a good fix for this. I’m doing a long commute and don’t have the time on the weekends to mess with it the way that I used to do. Maybe I should make the time somehow. It’s a small record of my passage through life, even if no one cares very much about it.
Oh, I don’t know, lots of folks out there care. 🙂
