I&#8217;m not really sure why. Google has kept it alive for a very long time, and they haven&#8217;t announced anything about shutting it down. I think I&#8217;m archiving it because it gives me something web design related to do. I don&#8217;t like dealing with the design aspects of WordPress, but I really like all of the features and plugins. As a result, I use a theme I can kinda customize, and keep it as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The archive process for the old blog is a similar process as when I archived my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royfuss.com\/royfussold\/\">old Royfuss posts<\/a>. Actually, I&#8217;m using the same template. I designed a new banner and some navigation buttons for it. It was the first time I opened up Photoshop in a very long time; the last time might&#8217;ve been when I archived my old Royfuss posts. It felt good create something in Photoshop, and tweak some web code. I actually spent a couple hours just doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s going to take me awhile to archive the old blog. I&#8217;m copying and pasting each post and metadata, and I have to add some extra HTML tags along the way. I&#8217;m also taking the time to read\/skim through the posts. I&#8217;m making notes of anything to highlight. Most likely, the full archive will be stored locally for my reference only. One day, I&#8217;d like to share the highlights here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I&#8217;m also archiving the site, because I was hoping I would feel like I was accomplishing something. I&#8217;ve been feeling stuck in a rut lately. I was optimistic when the new year started, but now I just feel like I&#8217;m going no where. Reading through the old posts from the blog can be entertaining, funny even. But for the most part, it just reminds me that time flies. I&#8217;m working on posts from January 2004, which was 14 years ago. It&#8217;s weird when you can look back and remember things from over a decade ago. Some of it feels like it just happened maybe five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need to get my shit together. I hate feeling like this. I&#8217;d rather read the old posts when I am in a state of mind where I can smile and laugh, more than think about how much time has passed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I began archiving my old Blogspot blog today.
