I wanted to write every single day in 2024. And I’ve had various blogs through the years, but thought I’d keep a simple barebones WordPress site on my domain chrisgrace.com. I had one there before, how hard could it be? For some reason I couldn’t login to the WP install I had already, so I thought, oh, I’ll just delete the old one and put in a new one.
However, I installed the new one at the root level of my website, so all of my files from the site were deleted. There wasn’t anything super critical there but there was years of built up archives and other things. I didn’t want to lose it.
On top of that, the WP install itself was not working, I think because of some interaction between the site, the www subdomain, the SSH certificate, and CloudFlare. Out of all the domains I have hosted through my provider, chrisgrace.com is the only one with some kind of “Cloudflare-enabled” feature on it, which is really obtuse to disable.
But now it’s late in the day.
And I realized, I can’t wait up until this is all fixed (I filed a support ticket and I’m also trying to fix the DNS records myself to remove the Cloudflare part).
So I opened up Obsidian and I’m writing this in there.
In 2024, it’s time to just do things, and not worry if they are perfect.
