After thinking it over for a while, I guess I’ll just keep this one blog after all.
Timeline
Around 2015, I set up my first blog using WordPress, with free hosting and a domain (I vaguely remember it was Hostinger).
In 2016, I registered my first domain, rented a server from Hengchuang, and fumbled my way through LEMP. I got WordPress set up, then looked for nice-looking themes, hunted for all kinds of plugins to optimize SEO, tried to make WordPress run faster... That year, aside from studying, that’s how I spent my time. It was actually pretty fulfilling.
Even though I technically had my own independent blog, I didn’t really get to know anyone—at most I’d go parrot people in other people’s comment sections. It probably has something to do with my personality; I’m shy around strangers.
Seventh grade wasn’t very stressful, so I had time to churn out posts (lol), and I even jumped on the bandwagon and bought Xiaoying’s Minty and C7V5 (
In 2017, I started eighth grade. Gradually I stopped putting as much energy into the blog, and so—lol—the grass grew (actually there was still some time I could’ve used to maintain the blog, but I was too lazy). In the end I couldn’t stand looking at it anymore and deleted the blog (??)
After I no longer had a blog, I realized a lot of what I’d been doing revolved around it. With no blog to tinker with, I felt a bit empty.
So not long after, I built the blog again—but for the same reason, I deleted it once more (???).
But in the process of maintaining the blog, I learned a lot. For example, PHP (though it’s been a few years since I’ve used it and I’ve completely forgotten it
And then there’s now—2019—and I’ve gone from a middle schooler to a high schooler. Looking back now, the things I said and did before are pretty childish (though I’m still like that now too..
High school life is also pretty (very) tiring. I have to go to class 6 days a week, and on Sundays I’m still required to go to school for a morning of self-study—roughly 796. So I have even less time to churn out blog posts.
But I’ve still decided to build the blog up. I’ll write whatever comes to mind. I’m already prepared for it to be overgrown with weeds for a long time. After all, I still have the college entrance exam ahead.
The End
I’ve thought about making a WordPress theme, but that’ll probably be far in the future—I’d have to relearn PHP.. So for now I’ll just stick with the default theme.
