A long-overdue reintroduction to this website...
17:53 BST - 25/08/2024
It feels kinda weird to be working on this website again after so long. After all, my attention’s been focused away from it for ages now, as most of my energy’s gone into posting on Twitter & attempting (so far rather unsuccessfully) to make music. I’ve been up to a lot in the past year - I’ve moved into my own flat, I’ve gotten a girlfriend (shout-out to June, my beloved ❤️), I’ve taken up the clarinet (which I’ve taken to surprisingly well for an instrument I bought from Cash Converters for £50 on a whim); all pretty wild stuff, really.
At this point, you may be wondering why I dug up this thing in the first place, rather than just leaving it abandoned. The answer there is rather simple; I’d been meaning to get back to it for a while & I think maintaining my own website is a better outlet for my attempts at article-writing than publishing say, a Substack newsletter (which I feel requires a tad more detail & thematic cohesion). There have been a fair few things I’ve considered writing about before & I just haven’t gone through with putting pen to paper for any of them. Hopefully, now that this website’s back in business, I’ll have more incentive to actually write shit.
Any longtime Loganheads who were already familiar with this website might notice a few changes. The website was largely geared towards my YouTube channel & trying to get myself hired as a video editor (both things I do far less frequently nowadays), so I’ve gutted most of the pages pertaining to that. The closest thing I had to a blog beforehand (the “Updates” page) largely consisted of me recording every little change I made to the website, so that has also been scrapped. The little Enby Globe GIF & the Baby Bryan (as in Cranston; it was a fake NFT series I made as a gag for a video game me & my brother were working on that we never finished) background tiles were iconic, but I think they’ve been there long enough. This new look is a little simpler, a little more sober, & I think that suits this new era of the website a little more. Still, this look is far from set in stone & I will probably tweak things a little if I feel like that’d be needed.
At the moment, the website shall consist of its homepage & the blog; anything else I feel is unnecessary. I will only add new sections if I feel the website would be improved by its presence; minimalism is something I greatly appreciate. Now that I’m working on this damn thing again, I shall probably have to read up on my HTML & CSS again because my knowledge of it has gotten kinda rusty through lack of use. I’m also gonna figure out how to write an RSS feed so that people can “subscribe” to my blog, for want of a better term. Those are my main goals for the website at the mo… well, that & trying to write articles for it semi-frequently, I guess. Whether I stick to it or not is anybody’s guess… I might end up getting distracted & abandoning the website again, but I hope I don’t. For now, though, I shall bid you adieu & hope you stick around for this new era of Logan.
