Migrating!

UPDATE: Done! I think. Pretty much everything I can see is to my liking. I might tweak the design over the next few days, but since no one visits this thing anyways it won’t be an issue.

ORIGINAL: Migrating over my stories. I figured out a way to have the archives be accessible from a link on the left. Things left to do:

~~Migrate over all of my old posts~~
~~Figure out if it is feasible to display each story on the site itself instead of only downloads~~
~~Install various plugins that seem valuable~~
~~See if I can clean up the ‘categories’ page. Also see if I can display dates on posts on that page.~~
~~Get Creative Commons stuff set up~~
~~General design tweaking~~

Close enough

Good enough for the time being. Now to figure out a good way to display my writing in a concise way…

Alright, one down

Fixed the error, now on to modifying it to look the way I want it to look.

Let’s get this thing rollin’

Rollin’ right on down the road. For starters, let me fix this theme. Once it’s fixed I’ll start modifiying it to my liking.

I think I’m going to migrate over to Wordpress tomorrow. I’ve found a good minimalist theme that I think I can easily modify, and the whole process should be pretty straightforward. This way I’ll have a proven archive system and comments, something I’ve wanted to implement but have been too lazy to really do. There are tons of little bugs I’ve always wanted to fix on this site, but…it would be so much work. Also, I have no idea how well this thing would scale. Probably not well. Honestly, I don’t know why I would even bother with that particular bit, but better to be prepared I guess. I’m ever the eternal optimist, it seems.

Tomorrow I’ll start to migrate. Not sure how it’ll work, but maybe I’ll also be able to migrate my old posts for the sake of completeness.

No dice

That diary story proved too difficult for me to finish successfully. I like where I started, but the ending goes into a realm I am not prepared to enter yet. It basically requires a completely unreliable narrator, something I am not confident enough to attempt. Well, that’s not true. I did attempt it, and it was crap. I need more practice.

I am attempting to produce a daily writing diary, and I am working on a story currently. I’ll see where it takes me (the theme of this site, it seems).

New ‘exercise’

I had a story written in the form of a diary sitting in my stable of ideas, but I never finished it. Re-reading it I actually really like it so far. The ending is definitely the most difficult part to hit successfully, so I’m not sure if I want to attempt to finish a stream-of-consciousness/abstract piece of do a more concrete writing exercise. I’m leaning towards the concrete example. It’s been a while, I need to refresh myself.

Waterlogged

No exercise

I am not going to write something about that late-night walk. Everytime I try to write it I get bored or stuck or both. Usually both. I have a few ideas bouncing around inside of my head, and so I think I will just write those instead of manufacturing exercises for the time being.
