.XML

It’s surprising how I’ve lost some of my skills over the years. I used to create my own web pages and remember finding FrontPage and Dreamweaver such enjoyable pastimes. Now, I can barely read html codes. I used to tweak templates I downloaded online and make them my own, but now I feel like I’ve lost so much of my creativity, and this makes me extremely sad. I’m just reflecting on how much of myself I will lose over the years because it seems like age is starting to rob me of a lot of things. I hate it.

Blogspot used to have a lot of really nice templates that I could tweak, but now I see many effortless ones that boast nothing but bits and bobs of headers and logos that aren’t creatively thought out. I guess that’s why I enjoy Canva more these days, because the designs are highly customizable, and I love to customize everything. It showcases my unique perspective. I’m just glad I kept this over-a-decade-old .xml Blogspot template in one of my cloud folders—nothing beats the old Blogspot templates; they’re rad. I don’t even know why I stick with Blogspot, even though it seems to be going away soon, carrying with it 15 years of my thoughts, writings, and scribbles. I tried moving to WordPress, but I didn’t like it; it sucks and bored me to death.
