no more separate diary? - 09:05 AM
(filed under 'site stuff')
i think i've decided not to have a separate diary section anymore. since i had to write updates from home while i was using the internet at the public library, i was tending to write fairly long news entries anyway & just use the 'read the rest' feature after a kind of introductory paragraph or two as i've done with this entry.
to tell the truth, i'm not really sure why i felt i had to have a news page & a diary section anyway. i'm sure there must have been a valid reason at the time, but now it just seems to be more trouble than it's worth.
i used to send out notifies of the diary because they were always quite long & (sometimes) informative & then people who didn't check my front page regularly would get an email telling them the diary had been updated, but since i've not been able to use my own email client for one reason or another for quite a long time, sending out the notifies has not been possible.
it's been a really long time since i wrote a diary entry anyway. in fact, the last one was october of last year!
i won't get rid of the entries which are in there, i'll leave them as is, but i might just have one diary archive link in the main menu on the front page, rather than the small list of (not so) recent entries which is currently there.
time for a change, i suppose. make life easier & less complicated for myself. i suppose those who want to keep up with the major events of my life will just have to sort through the news items one at a time to find the so-called important things.
me being me, the little things in my life hold just as importance as the big things anyway, so why not keep them all in the one place, hey? *shrugs*
