Last year, I created more than 20 posts on Dreamwidth. I'm pleased as that surpasses my initial aim of 1 post per month.

To post more in the upcoming months, I'm thinking of:

(01) Getting more used to talking about my obscure interests and fandoms as if everyone knows what I'm talking about. I'd like to create a space more representative of my obsessions rather than only creating one post to announce a new one, as I've been doing so far 😬 I want to get out of the digital marketing mindset of chiefly posting for engagement which is different from simply creating a semi-public digital personal space.

(02) Try out solutions/routines for saving, resizing and uploading posts here to complement my written commentaries and the like. I've managed to embed images here in the past, but not often enough to become more efficient in carrying out the steps involving switching between apps and softwares, depending on whether I'm blogging with my phone or computer. It seems too much like a hassle, but I remain motivated anyway to think up posts with images since I like colour and pretty pictures, especially more since I got back into graphic editing last year.

(03) Figure out how to allocate my blogging energy among creating community posts, entering discussions on Dreamwidth and just posting on my own blog. These activities call for different approaches to communicating, yet they seem to deplete the same kind of energy.

  1. Browse stock photos on Pexels
  2. Try out potential new background images one by one through grabbing the direct link and inserting it in the relevant field under 'Customize Journal'
  3. Save changes and hit preview until hitting on a stock photo that matches desired vibe for journal
  4. Download second largest size available
  5. Uploaded it to Dropbox
  6. Generate a link, then replace 'dl=0' with 'raw=1' and paste it in the field for Step 2

From having a background image, my journal looks much more dynamic than when I was just using one of the available themes 😁
