Written retrospectively for the 2024 archive.

Looking back at the themes in this year’s archive, I’m glad there’s room for different kinds of sites. Amicable makes space for the writing in one column. Prismatic gives a personal site more places to show its work. Those are different decisions about what a visitor needs to see.

The personal posts give me another question about making room. When somebody at home is telling me a story, can I put the rest of the evening aside long enough to hear how it ends? I want to get better at noticing when I actually have that time.
