elseweb, I have something resembling a homepage

[redbird]

So I was randomly reading old blog posts, and came across a discussion of ways to stop google from pointing to things like someone else's arrest record when someone googles your name. And one of those was "personal web page."

So, I have poked at my very old personal web page. I added a little about what I'm doing in 2018 (activism and availability for freelance work, though my schedule is full right now), but most of the changes are "yes, this is very cobwebby, and I don't live in Inwood anymore." (The most recent post to my weblog had been from 2007, and most of it was several years older than that.)

To do a proper job, I probably need to either learn some modern HTML, or use some kind of template, maybe WordPress. This morning, I was using bits of vi, and to the extent possible putting new content under existing headers. I don't even remember what all the code there is for, but I decided I could safely remove the lines labeled "a bit of code to make Technorati happy."

This is just my personal experience, but I run a Wordpress site that very few people read, and I've cranked up security to the max (including turning off comments altogether), and I've STILL been hacked twice and am constantly battling people who want to hijack it.

WP is great in many ways, but it's also an utter timesink and I am *constantly* trying to stay one step ahead of the scumbags.


If you're not wanting to blog as such, a static site might well be the way to go.
