Moving my personal blog and a new RSS feed URL (goodbye and thanks Micro.blog)

Hey :)

This is just a quick update on this post- RSS feed changes

I’m moving from Micro.blog to a new platform.

  • I am going to be moving to a new blogging platform this weekend (for my personal blog). Maybe tonight. It just depends how things go.
  • The aeryn.me domain will be moved to the new platform too.
  • The new feed URL will be at https://aeryn.me/feed/.
  • If you wish to continue to follow this blog in your feed reader, you will need to add it again because I am unable to add feed redirects on the new platform.
  • My Micro.blog-hosted site will remain live for some more months whilst I continue migrating posts. But will eventually disappear, I expect.
  • I do not intend to delete my account (I want to preserve timeline posts) but will let it lapse back to a free account.
  • I will most likely not be posting to Micro.blog anymore. 🤷‍♀️
  • I am now microblogging on Mastodon and still adding Micro.blog folks there gradually. I love that I can continue to follow, although there does feel like some distance now, which is a shame.
  • I cross-post from Mastodon to Bluesky too.

Lastly, although I will potentially write about Micro.blog again in the future, I just want to say thank you to Manton, support people, and the community. Thanks for making me feel welcome and being generally a friendly, supportive, and wholesome place.

Bye and see you around

Aeryn x

Edit to add: I think I may have figured out a RSS redirect at the new place. Not sure.

RSS feed changes

Hey,

I am migrating this blog (aeryn.me) to a new platform soon. And all existing RSS feeds will break.

I have set up a feed redirect on the current platform. If you would like to continue to follow my blog, please subscribe this new URL.

The new feed URL will be: https://aeryn.me/feed/

This URL will be the Atom feed address on the new platform, and should be a valid redirect until I complete the move. But I’m not sure all RSS feed clients will happily ‘subscribe’ to a redirect, or not.

So, if you subscribe and you don’t hear anything within a couple of weeks, please check my blog again. I’ll be posting RSS/Atom feed options on the new platform once I’ve moved over.

It was a really beautiful morning in the park. I grabbed a few moments of peace with the birds and the clouds. A soundscape of birdsong, air traffic, motorway traffic.

We are having a mini heat-wave here in Manchester. I have been writing in my local Costa Coffee this morning and now I’m soaking up the atmosphere and birdsong in the park. 📹↑HQ

Sunset in the park this evening.. 📹

I’m attempting to post a video that’s hosted elsewhere. Let’s see if it works. 🤞

Auto-generated description: A peaceful wooded area at sunset features trees with wooden decorations, a path, and a visible date in the corner.

A Thermos flask with a shiny lid is situated on a piece of wood. A distorted reflection of some fingers can be seen. The image is high contrast black and white.

Current situation ☕️☁️😊

A cloudy salmon pink sky over a silhouetted bare-branched tree and houses

📷 I got up earlier than usual, just in time to see the pastel clouds before sunrise. Very nice.

A wide angle view of some bare-branch trees lit by sunlight with deep blue sky behind.

The sun is out in the park and I have hot cacao. 😋 📷

Trees and a house are silhouetted against a sky with bright orange clouds lit by the sunrise.

Nice view and a coffee to start the day. 📷

A grass field with wooden fence posts in the foreground and a blue sky. Cows can be seen in the field, with hills barely visible in the distance.

I’m on a village-hopping walk towards the city and I can’t believe this place I found. I forgot views like this existed within Manchester. So beautiful. 📷

I’m so glad I decided to expand my horizons today

A clear morning sky coloured from deep lilac through to gold at the horizon. A plane flying over, trees, telephone lines, and a house are silhouetted against the sky.

Gorgeous morning sky. Happy Thursday

I’ve been using Halide + Process Zero on most iPhone shots for a while now. I really like it. I’ve got a lot of room for pixel massaging (the sky needed a little work in this one). And the digital noise is pretty nice actually. 📷 🌅

A clear sky in orange and mauve hues with five orange vapour trails heading away. Two silhouetted planes travelling across the frame. Some silhouetted trees in the foreground at the bottom of the frame.

For hundreds of people in this shot, sunrise had already happened.

Seven planes ✈️ this morning. 📷🌅

A lilac grey early morning sky with silhouetted trees, house, and telephone lines in the foreground

A garden and houses have a light covering of snow. There are silhouetted trees against a grey sky and paw prints visible in the snow in the foreground.

It’s a cozy day! ❄️📷

A dramatic sky with orange clouds over residential houses and trees which are in darkness.

Red sky in the morning,
Dental warning 📷 🌅

Two overlapping orange Micro.blog stickers on a green work mat. They are shaped like a speech symbol with white borders and yellow star shapes in the centre.

I received my Micro.blog stickers just before Christmas. Yay! They came all the way from Oregon, from @jean. Thank you 🤩

A selfie of me wearing glasses, a gaming headset and a pink jumper with large dark red juice stains on it. I’m laughing at the camera.

I’m such a doofus sometimes. Today I became a real life casualty of playing Fortnite with my kid. (It’s juice). 🎮

A hand is holding a Costa coffee cup in a snowy park under a clear blue sky with snowy hills in the background

This was worth the trip! Hot chocolate and breakfast in the snowy hills. 📷 ❄️

Some mallard ducks resting on the ice of a pond that reflects the trees in the background. Some of the pond is free of ice.

Ducks be ducking 📷

A thin layer of snow covers a grassy yard, with a tree and houses in the background.

Yay!

A wide angle view looking up into a tree canopy with some yellow autumnal leaves and bare branches. With blue sky above.

Just sitting here. Late evening walk at 4:15pm
