I recently started making newsletters for friends as i have deleted all social media (bar this) and i find it super fun and a refreshing way to keep in contact (we send them back to each other). I try and create a new theme every month to pass onto them. And this month, i made a small static site with a few jokey articles on it.

At the end of it, it made me quite nostalic for what we used to have (i had an awful blog in high school, before social media took ahold).

Anyway, after reflecting on it. It made me want to find a few more blogs to read because i loved the format of it and it made me wonder, do you guys have a blog? what do you write about?

Do you want one? what WOULD you write about?

I used to maintain my own website through Neocities, but I had to stop because it was too stressful for me. I ran out of ideas to write about, I lacked confidence in my ability to program the website and I never got any feedback from any of the users who visited it.

My website kind of went through two phases while I was maintaining it. The first phase focused on reviewing and comparing various applications for both Windows and Android. After I took a break for a few months, the second phase of my website was branched out to include Linux and I wanted to focus more on gaming related topics.

I still kind of do some of this stuff for my own personal use but I don't post any of it online anymore. I have thought about either using Neocities again or using Odysee's article feature to start posting some of this stuff online again but I'm not really sure if anyone would find it useful/interesting.
