krpalmer | A Once-in-a-Decade Rebuild (Reply)

Having marked the last time I revamped my home page with a post here just might have wound up a nagging reminder of how much time has passed since then. Beyond the problems of “linkrot,” the home page did just happen to contain a comment about “new promises of even newer Star Wars movies.” After a long time, I did start to wonder about whether I could reshape the home page into “narratives of how I became interested in some of the things I post the most about on this journal”; some time later, I had the body text written and the HTML formatted. Even if I’d led off with a casual comment about “Web 1.0,” I had picked up a further trick or two with CSS.

My old comments about Marathon slipped out altogether from my “old computers” section; wondering if I could mention one more thing on the page, I decided to say something about Peanuts for all that I don’t go to very many links on that subject. I also went to the point of reformatting my old Saga Journal essays, trying to make up for how I don’t go to very many Star Wars links now either. As for the links to other subjects, I decided to cut out editorializing, even managing to think this might make it a bit easier to revamp them in passing.
