After several years of nothing, my blog is finally working again (fingers-crossed)!!!<\/p>\n

I truly am at a loss to explain what happened. It’s been so long, I can’t attribute it to anything specifically that I installed or failed to install, or migrate, or deleted… Who knows.\u00a0I know this Twitter feed thing isn’t working right. I need to find out what else is broken. I doubt all the pictures show up correctly, but they appear on and off on the backend.<\/p>\n

I’d recently decided to move my blog from WordPress to Jekyll, as I’m doing so much with learning to code these days. I thought it would be a nice experiment, and also I’d have more control over the output. It might be a good idea to continue with this anyway, since I am not sure how long this will last. However I’m currently having issues with Ruby and Jekyll, and not all of the plug-ins that are supposed to work seem like they are working.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, this might be a good excuse to dive more deeply (or start, really) learning about WordPress customizations, theme development, and WordPress administration customization. More PHP and MySQL stuff, which is where I was headed anyway.<\/p>\n

In any case, I feel excited…finally!!<\/p>\n
