New Year, New Site, New Resolutions

Hey everyone! I am writing this post to announce my website will go through some changes.

New Subdomains

You might have noticed that the URL for the blog is now blog.prismatic.pink instead of prismatic.pink. I decided to branch out into different subdomains because I want to challenge myself and get a more hands-on approach to coding. I also enjoy way too many different designs and I want to be better able to express my artistic vision in different ways.

I made this decision because I wanted this blog to be responsive (a.k.a. mobile-friendly) so I could easily share my texts with people. However, designing responsive websites compromises creative freedom. I really enjoy what I did with this blog, it’s the furthest I’ve ever been with HTML and CSS (and my hubby helped me a lot with JS and PHP). It’s also managed with WordPress, a very convenient solution for blogging. I can say that it’s 90% hand-coded (I just got the PHP functions from a pre-made layout).

Prismatic.pink is under construction right now, but soon it will be the main page. I will add the webrings, listings, and creative stuff in general. I also want a separate subdomain for pixel art, but I haven’t started yet.

We all miss those times when the internet meant freedom, the online spaces allowed us to be more creative, no algorithms were used to define what we should or shouldn’t read, etc.

Why another blog in 2024?

Hi, folks. It’s me again in 2024, twenty years after creating my first blog. For me, there is something really magical in creating your own space on the internet, and I missed that.

I’ve been here and there, trying out all blogging platforms. Most of them do not even exist anymore, so lots of content were completely lost but I won’t complain, they were really cringey. After years of research and trial and error, I finally chose WordPress as my preferred platform. I spent quite a long time with the free version, WordPress.com, but I knew only WordPress.org would satisfy my needs.
