Some time ago, I was looking for something in the Wayback Machine, and it struck me that I might grab a few shots of what this site has looked like.

As many changes and as radically different (yet the same) as the subjects of the blog itself…

First, there was the original look:

It was running on Text Pattern, which was basic. And my design was basic. Because my skills were basic. But there was that classic header:

I still kind of like it…

Some years were unavailable in the Wayback Machine, so suddenly, we jump seven years to 2010:

By then, I’d switched to WordPress, which gave me a lot more options as far as design goes.

And with that freedom, I began to change the design regularly.

With this being day 1500 of my daily posting streak, I thought it might be good to reflect on the site itself.

I tried everything: magazine layouts,

minimalist layouts,

seasonal layouts, everything.

Then I started using the Divi theme, and for about 6 years now, I’ve stuck with it.

I’ve changed the header image,

and I messed a bit with other design elements, but since about June of 2021, I’ve found something that I like and just hang with — except for the yearly change of the header image…
