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. š¤·āāļø
- 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.
My soundtrack to 1995. šµ
This reminds me of kicking about in Northamptonshire with my partner in crime when we were students.
Faith No More are so important to me, and this album might be my favourite. And it’s 30 years old now š¤Æ
My soundtrack to 2008/2009. šµ
When Seldom Seen Kid came out I became an Elbow fan and delved into their back catalog. At the time, I was busy diving into photography in a really big way. And this album reminds me of wandering around Manchester City centre with my camera and people I met through Flickr.
My soundtrack to a very intense 2022. šµ
A medicine album that helped me through.
This is the soundtrack to the breakdown of my life. 2017. šµ
Itās was an intensely painful and paradoxically beautiful time. My mind was breaking down and I was having all sorts of crazy experiences whilst desperately trying to stay out of hospital.
And this music was my solace. I played it on repeat for hours at a time. Day after day. I never did get sick of it.
Itās my favourite Radiohead album and it will always mean so much to me.
My soundtrack to 2019. For some reason I associate it with the first John Wick movie. Anyway, I just fucking love this album.
This is my soundtrack šµ to going to see my grandparents in Oxfordshire. I remember the way their house smelled (pipe tobacco) and the forests we drove through to get to them..
This album blew my young mind. And I listened relentlessly. ~1990s
Wipeout was the game! I played it relentlessly and it was such a rush! The music was a massive part of that: tracks from this album, and the licensed music too. šµš®
My soundtrack to the original PlayStation. 1995.
wipE’out'' - The Zero Gravity Soundtrack by CoLD SToRAGE (2023)
Freedom. Longing. Grief. Relief. Repeat.
My soundtrack to moving to a new home and being newly single for the first time in a very long time. 2013.
One of my fave NIN albums tbh
My soundtrack to holidays on the North-West coast of Scotland as a teen. ~1990s
I used to listen to this album on a little cassette player that I bought from the Grundig electronics store in Mallaig.
Already, I was a fan of Clannad from the Robin Hood TV show. And this album became a gateway to more of their work, and later in life Celtic music generally.
It still brings happy memories of sitting by the sea listening to this on my tinny headphones.
