Noelle's Blog

I tried out WordPress once again and reached the same conclusion: I don't like all of the analytics and it's making me feel pressured to write something that will get likes and follows. I feel like the writing for likes is this subtle thing but it's an underlying factor(?) I consider while I'm writing and I don't like it. I was excited about connecting my WordPress blog to the fediverse, but then that became a second source of pressure because I could keep track of followers and look to see i...

So I started writing this as a post on Calckey, but since I didn't know if anyone wanted to see this type of post show up in their feed I thought I would post it on my Linefeed blog instead and then share a link to it on Calckey.   So, yeah. Basically what's happening is I'm starting to burn out on all social media, which includes the fediverse. I've noticed the vast majority of my feed on Mastodon and now Calckey has turned into posts where people are angry about this or that issue, and hon...

I don't know if it's the fact that I have a blog on three different platforms now (yes, three! WordPress, Linefeed, and Neocities 😅) but I feel confused about what direction I want to take this blog in. At first I wanted it to be focused on reading and books but later I thought I would add in coding as a topic because I started learning HTML and CSS. Now I'm thinking books and coding is too restrictive and I want to branch out more and just post whatever I want. 🤣 I've been taking a web deve...

Wow it feels so freeing just logging on here and writing! I have no idea how many people viewed my last post and I think it's better that I don't. I feel like my mind was focused on the stats and it was getting in the way of me writing the next post. I guess I must worry a little too much about how people will react? This experience has got me thinking about the internet in general and all of the blogs and websites out there, of which there are probably hundreds of millions, possibly billions...

So I've decided as of last night that I'm going to write on this blog instead of Wordpress. There are a few reasons for doing that, so I thought that I would go over them today in this post. So without further ado let's get into it. The first reason I'm choosing this over WordPress to post updates is that there's no analytics on here. No views, no comments, no likes or dislikes. I enjoyed the analytics on Wordpress until I realized last night that the views and comments and likes were starti...

I recently started a blog on WordPress but I suddenly missed my blog here on linefeed so I decided to post on here again! It's been a while! I posted once and then apparently decided not to post again I guess. 😅 Well now I'm back again. So... I've been up to quite a lot since my last post in December. I started a WordPress blog, joined Neocities, and because of joining Neocities decided to start learning how to code in HTML and CSS. And wow I just realized I've joined a lot of different blog...

So I've finally done it! I have a place where I can write about books I read (probably only some of them since I usually read way too many books at the same time and I don't finish all of them...oops).  This blog may veer off course at times, because I usually have a hard time focusing on one topic. And by may veer off course I mean it most definitely will veer off course. I've always thought that I should find a "niche" but I've realized that I just can't really focus too long on one topic....
