@JenJen The idea of that needing a special term is wild to me because people never stopped doing that in my experience. Maybe I just keep leaving places just before they stop having people do that, but I suspect more likely I just don't surround myself with people who do the other thing. Even Twitter for me was still full of people just talking normally when I left in 2018.

@JenJen I was going to ask what "casual posting" meant but I guess they just mean... regular posting as opposed to marketing? The regular posting that's still alive and well around here?

@jsstaedtler Impossible, I think. I barely even touch my smartphone, and my interactions with it are always short enough that I can remain conscious of how I'm handling it, and even so I've managed to drop it twice. Those things are just not designed for any purpose other than to look good in adverts.

@reinderdijkhuis I've been doing this so long, apparently, that I've gone through the "professional" options right back to the "amateur" ones because they just work better and are easier to maintain, even if they do require more manual work. For a personal site, I don't need to rush.

@reinderdijkhuis I think writing HTML by hand is the easiest option by far. Fewest security holes. For something like a webcomic where there are a lot of similar pages, it does get incredibly tedious.

WP is never easy, and always bloated ;D

I've used Grawlix and a custom CMS for my webcomics, but for my next one I think I'm going to go for something entirely static, possibly hand-coded (unlike a massive existing archive like yours, a new webcomic allows for a comfy pace of adding pages).

@LuckyArtMonster I don't think I've had that happen, but I've had the "wrong" music make me want to draw something else, which isn't very helpful.

Did going back to something relevant help in your case?

@LuckyArtMonster I have different playlists for different projects, and the music varies significantly between them. Generally I prefer working to instrumentals, but some of my playlists have lots of vocals because those songs just fit the mood.
