Big Redesign
I've completely redesigned this site and also finished bringing over some of the content that I left out of the interim version. Here's a longer post about what I did.
Here's all the updates that I posted on my Now page

I added support for dark/light mode and also controls so visitors can decide what mode they prefer. For right now, I put the controls in the footer. I'm planning some design changes so that may move at some point.
From Dave Rupert's blog. This post is both hilarious and very interesting. His site changes color scheme incrementally each day. Check out what he did and also how he did it in his post.
I've been meaning to rebuild this site for a long time but it was going to be a big project that I don't have time for. Today I decided to just make it happen. I used the Eleventy Base Blog to get started. Getting just this basic site together was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
So, this is 2025. OK.
I can't believe it's almost December. That's it. That's the whole update.
October Horror Movie watching update: I've re-watched a few classic favorites - The Shining, Suspiria, and The Exorcist. I also re-watched Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining, and liked it better this time.
Currently watching: Agatha All Along & Uzumaki
It's October so it's time for my yearly Horror Movie watching marathon. I'll be posting a list of what I watch on this blog. This year's post also includes playlists of Halloween appropriate music!

Also watching: Salem's Lot. The original 1979 version and the new 2024 version.

I'm working on a lot of content updates for my 'real' website and some design updates too. Part of the project will be a new digital garden where I can post things that work better in that format.
Currently watching: Agatha All Along
Currently re-watching: WandaVision
Agatha All Along is only two episodes in but I'm really enjoying it. I'm rewatching WandaVision because it's been a minute and I wanted to refresh my memory.
That's all.
October is coming soon! I am already getting ready for my yearly horror movie festival. I'm thinking about what movies to watch and planning some new stuff for this year's list.
Also, I somehow broke my tag archives on this site so I'll be working on figuring out who I did that.
Well, I got tired of the completely ridiculous version of this site that I posted 2 weeks ago and decided to go back to my Space Theme.
It's been awhile since I had time to update this site and I've been busy. I finally launched claudiasnell.com. I built a new theme based on Underscores for that project. I modified that slightly and am also using the theme on my newly relaunched photo-blog, Angle Of View.
I also redid the design on this site and fixed a couple of things that have been bothering me. This ridiculous iteration of this site is based on a Worcester-centric blog I used to have.
I've been working in my garden and have been busy with projects.
I'm in the middle of moving all my WordPress sites to SiteGround and reading Sustainable Web Design by Tom Greenwood from A Book Apart.
I've been dealing with some hosting issues. I needed to find new hosting and am now working on moving things around. I'm working on some other things but can't post about it right now.
New design for the new year. Yay!
I decided to make some changes to this site. I've combined the updated and now pages; made the homepage a combined feed of updates and blog posts, removed a couple of things I don't have time to update, and made changes to the way posts are displayed. I've got a few more changes I'd like to make but this is it for now.
Today is the end of October and that means my ridiculous Halloween theme will be going away. It also means that my this year's list of Halloween movies is complete. I liked posting what we're watching so much I'm going to start doing similar posts more often.
This week, in between horror movie watching, I binge-watched all of the available episodes of Our Flag Means Death and the latest Loki episode. Both are excellent. I can't wait for more.
Still adding to my 2023 October Movie list.
Season 2 of Loki is finally here and I'm very happy about that. We've also been watching horror movies and adding to this year's October Movie list.
Fall is my favorite time of year and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays so I'm feeling good. This weekend, I planted my fall bulbs and started my October Movie list. I'll be adding the horror movies I watch as we go.
Also, Season 2 of Loki starts this week and I'm excited for that!
I had a busy weekend. I worked on this site some; did some experimenting with one of my projects; and did some work in my garden. I also watched The French Dispatch.
New (to me): I've started using a note-taking app called Bear. I'm also learning about Astro, and a WordPress starter theme called Sage. I'll post about my progress as I go.
Added a blogroll. Yes, an old skool blogroll because I wanted to and this is my site. Before you know it, I'll be joining webrings.
Or maybe I'll make one.
Here's a new version of this site.
