Blog Migration and Website Overhaul

I can’t believe that it’s been over 12 hours since I started.

Just as the title says, I woke up today and immediately said “I’m going to work on my website today!” The next thing I know, it’s 2 in the morning.

For anyone who is a first time visitor, welcome. I’ve been writing on this blog since February of 2025. It was hidden behind my poor HTML/CSS coding skills.

I really wanted the main page to have the blog present, but wasn’t able to integrate it in the way I wanted to. And I was kicking myself for choosing Joomla as the CMS. It’s alright, but come on, man .. why JOOMLA? I never even heard of JOOMLA before the day I made the site.

Anyway, here’s a quick list of things that were updated:

  • new layout (obviously)
  • dedicated About page for yours truly.
  • artwork section (wahoo!)
  • visual novel project page
  • digital spirit saga finally got a small entry in the alchemy section
  • credits page for the banners i use on this site
  • you can comment on posts!

I migrated the blog from Joomla to WordPress. It didn’t go so well. The plugin I used did manage to grab all of my posts correctly, but left out all the media. So, I had to reupload every picture and relink each picture on every post 1 by 1. Tedious stuff, but it didn’t take as long as I thought it would.

the big thing is that comments are open. since this site isn’t indexed by google (hopefully) and the only link to it are on my discord/bluesky, I don’t see a lot of troublemakers getting through. Even so, I’m excited to have comments open.

I’ll be up for a little longer so I’ll see what else I can add on here before I hit the hay. It was pretty fun working on it. kinda glad to be on wordpress again, it just … kinda works lol
