With 2023 winding down, I want to do a short recap on the
blog this year. A part of this is to help me evaluate my thoughts and writing with
enough hindsight, but it’s also fun to see the weird places I wandered to
throughout the year. I wasn’t planning on writing about electronic anime albums,
a Gundam guide, and a journey through someone making crap up on Wikipedia, but it
all led to some fun diversions, even if I still haven’t settled on a cohesive
identity for this blog.
While this blog still wasn’t too active, I’m happy I had the discipline to write, edit, and release multiple posts on varying topics. This is all still a hobby of mine, but it’s good practice for my own writing. I don’t have huge aspirations for this page, but if I can make something entertaining and informative for at least a few other people while exploring my interests, that’s rewarding enough.
The only major change to the blog itself was making it look more presentable. A purple background with white text was a bad idea and I don’t know why I put it in at all, but hopefully the light pink with black text style ages better. Or maybe I’ll decide that look stinks too, we’ll see.
For some reason, neither this nor the Tumblr show up Google’s search, but they do appear on Yahoo and Bing. I’m doing the Google site analytics tools to crawl the URL and see what the issue is, but any advice is appreciated. I don’t want this to be stuck on social media alone, especially since I avoid using it too much.
With all that said, here's my brief recap of what happened here in 2023.
