Ok, the site is back now after an evening of experimentation, confusion and frustration. The limitations of using just https://listed.to/@jimtrottier for my website is just too much for me (and a few other visitors). As it turns out, this site is simple enough and complete enough that it’s easier for me to just make the effort and post like “normal” people do, directly through my website, than do deal with all of the complexities of HTML all over again when I want something a little more than just words in a post, and without having to re-post my links to all of my other content in pretty much every single post.
To test how easy or difficult it is to post here, or just to see if I’m capable of accomplishing something geekily difficult, I’ve given myself a challenge I mentioned in the title and won’t mention again. No rewards, no reason, let’s just do this once and see what happens.
Oh, and I “cleared out” the “Listed” site too, so don’t bother checking that site anymore. Sorry for the confusion. Fortunately anyone who only visits my site once a week, or less frequently, won’t even notice that anything ever changed, they’ll just be reading and wondering what the heck that blank “listed.to” page is and why I’m rambling on about a few postings that aren’t even there, then they’ll read the rest and realize I came to me senses again, and reverted back to the old site. Then again, if they read my site top-down, they’ll see this first. My head hurts.
