Fighting the urge for website do-overs, Threads in EU update and getting acquainted with MarsEdit
I've been surprisingly happy in the way this site came together.
However, like it happens nearly every time after I've launched a new thing, this time was no different: I’ve been already thinking about doing it again from a scratch.

Follow via RSS feed or on Fediverse @juha@juhaliikala.comHi @jeffmueller! Is ADN finder still a thing? I was trying to add myself to that list, but I don’t think it worked out. Or is there a manual process involved after submitting? 😊 Cheers!
Where did that weekend go? 😄 Well, coffee to the engine and toward this weeks adventures! Started exploring ConvertKit on Saturday. Thinking of starting a newsletter, in addition to these somewhat random micro blog writings. Let’s see!
Blast from the past from travel photo archives. Miss those Bali adventures! This was a cave waterfall called Tukad Cepung (if I remember correctly). Beautiful place! 😍

And there goes the well started Daily (Micro) Blogger streak - Forgot to post yesterday, duh! Oh well.. 😄 Weekend ahead! No plans, just chill! Maybe some gym activities, movies and catching up reading from some favourite bloggers around the blogosphere. Speaking of “reading blogs”, I still find most convinient to subscribe to blogs via news reader, instead of email newsletters. My highest recommends goes to reader called NetNewsWire 🙌
A proper thunderstorm here in Oulu this evening. ⛈ 71 millimetres of rain in the past 6 hours or so. Some pics here, the article is in Finnish
Really wish there were a lite version of the Instagram iOS app. NO REELS, suggestions, boosted posts, ads, shopping features.. all that. Just photos and perhaps, stories. Just the good stuff from the people you follow, nothing else. Well, not going to happen for sure.. but one can always hope! 😄
After a brief sidetracking on WordPress, I switched my blogging efforts back to micro.blog. WP was fine (it always is), but the ease of publishing via micro.blog just felt like a better road to take right now. Let’s see how this goes! :)
I’ve been mulling over the thought of building and selling a few website / blogging themes this year. Just not 100% decided on to which “platform”. Probably Ghost or Eleventy, or why not a micro.blog theme even? WordPress could be too, but the latest full site editing / block theme stuff feels like there’s too many moving parts to take into account. Would want to keep things as simple as possible.
Don’t recall if I’ve seen commercial Eleventy themes before though. So Ghost then.. perhaps? At least Ghost has a theme marketplace.
Just thinking out loud here I guess. Let’s see what I manage to cook up (if anything at all)! :)
Back to micro posting! While putting bits and pieces together on my personal blog, I also wanted to start writing note type of (micro) posts. For me the reasoning being - that would lower the otherwise high threshold of hitting the publish button more often. So here goes! :)
