been working on re-adding some of my older journal entries from various versions of the journal i kept on my website here, starting with the restricted entries from a private file i used to keep. sorry to the all of two people who will be inundated with all that bs over on dreamwidth, heh. i'm also still going to be re-adding them to my site here as well, along with the new entries i make, though that will come a bit later, once i finish up the journal css and decide how i want all the journal files arranged this time. every version of my static html-based journal had a different file / post system because of course i do this to myself. the encrypted entries are going to be added with a static html encryption tool i'm pretty excited to have found; i'm hoping i can have it encrypt only part of my html instead of the whole file, but i'll settle for whole file encryption if i must.
sure, i could just take advantage of my webhost's server side access and write proper password protection features, but you must remember: i am insane lol and also never feel safe or secure with web hosting i have to pay for to keep online. i've had far too many instances in my life now where i couldn't pay for web hosting, or was otherwise unable to have that as an option. thus the need for tools that work for me and the static mirrors my site also lives on.
anyway. i still type these in the neocities editor before anything. something about it still feels conducive to writing journalish things, more so than notepad itself or the dreamwidth post editor. sure, i could get a more customizable text file editor like notepad++, but i mean i could also use a static site generator but don't. you must remember: i am insane and enjoy being wretched and strange.
hopefully this will remain sustainable as far as writing things. i'll have to figure out how i want to quote things from other sites when i want to discuss them here... as much as i admittedly greatly detest sites like twitter (no i will never call it x fuck you elon musk) and tumblr, one of the very few things they do that i don't loathe is the ability to take a post and leave some commentary on it yourself on your own journaling space. may just continue using blockquotes for those things like the rss feeds for twitter and tumblr do, though i may tweak how i was doing it a bit.
whatever. i'll figure it out eventually.
