Home Built

Hey there everyone!

It's been a stretch since I made a blog post over here, that's because I finally finished building that home I was talking about last November. I have since moved all my old posts from this blog over there and have built an RSS feed for it as well as general large updates to my site such as new or improved digital garden posts and new gallery pages. If you want to keep up with my blogging as well as my art you can start following me over there.

I've been having a lot of fun building an informal space that isn't tied to a social media platform, and I'm excited about what extra stuff I can add to it, such as adding a comments section to my blog and digital garden posts. For now they are commentary free, and will remain so while I'm done getting everything organized.

I'm glad that through learning web design I've been able to figure out what I actually want out of a website. I've always wanted a place that I could put a bunch of my art and writing that wasn't reliant on a platform. If I want to bail, I could easily pack up and move elsewhere, along with everyone who has been following my RSS feeds. You can't do that with social media.

For giseletheweaver.com I will be putting it through some changes, in particular taking it off of Weebly and hosting it on a cheaper platform (very likely Neocities, but we'll see) and downscaling. It'll still be my more professional facing portfolio site, but there won't be a blog.

Thanks again to everyone who has followed me here. This isn't the end of my presence online. I've finally figured out where I like to be, and I am the happiest I've ever been on the internet.

A better life is possible.
