It’s been true, over the course of Five Songs history, that I’ve posted “we’re back!!!” on multiple occasions. And, sometimes that’s true, sometimes less so. This time around, though, it’s more of a technical sense than anything else. My other blog, House of Slack Games was hacked, probably due to an old version of Ghost. I decided I was sick of dealing with that kind of thing, security updates, things of that nature, and rebuilt it using a static site generator. Well, I don’t really want to run two blog systems, so I rebuilt this site as well.
It took some time and goofing around with formatting, but the blog is back up again. And I suppose I’ll take this time to mention that I’m probably going to make a change in format. I’m going to go with a weekly post instead of daily(-ish), with some more timely content like what I’m listening to right now. And, of course, the usual five random songs. If you want to catch those, you can sign up for the email list, follow with RSS, or just follow me on Bluesky.
Oh, and I have to note: the old music player isn’t working on the new site. I’ll level with you: it’s expensive to host all that stuff, and truthfully, it’s not really legal. So, I have to figure something else out, I guess. Well, that’s a problem for later. Anyway: we’re back!!!
