Behind the Scenes Update
Sat Aug 31 2024

I've made some heavy changes behind the scenes (with some more to come). The code was becoming rather unwieldy in places largely due to this being the first time I've used the framework that 'NextDD' is written in. So, as I've become more familiar with it I've realised some of my earlier coding decisions weren't - shall we say - the smartest 😀

They seemed like a good idea at the time.

Anyway, the theory is that you won't notice any difference. But I've been reading some of the much older DD entries recently, and of course, the theory and the practise often don't match up.

So if you notice anything weird, or misaligned (except the universe, I think that's pretty misaligned lately) please do let me know.

I'll probably be looking at Followers Only Diaries in the next few days.

Oh, and I also produced a little video. Let me know what you think 😅

    I am always looking forward to seeing what other diarists have to say each time I log on the site rekindled grow. Watching your video to show the people all over what Dear Diary is all about. I love it. YouTube has been around for 19 years when Dear Diary was still young. I believe 6 years old? So much has happened since 2005, and the WWW has changed a lot as so has Windows and MacOS. Computer technology has reached TVs now, too! I can’t wait for Dear Diary to evolve and grow with its fans and diarists along the way. Bringing Dear Diary back to its former glory is a grest start, too. This system was and is easier to use.

    I think, this video is wonderful! Short and sweet and caught the essence of DD perfectly!
