/blog

Today sees three years of /journal — my private solution here that began life as a WordPress plugin to create a custom post type.

I wrote the plugin back in 2018 but, for various reasons, journalling didn't resonate with me at the time.

December 2020 saw me try again, creating a simple interface that copied the way posting to the blog worked. I said at the time:

Maybe it never stuck because I didn't have all the pieces in place. Now they are and it can't get much simpler. Here's hoping that will carry me through.

It's fair to say that it has. Out of 1095 days I have posted 1076 entries — that's only 19 days when I haven't written anything in three years.

I moved the journal to '(b)log-In' in March 2021, just a couple of months after the launch, and have never looked back.
