It's been yet another year!
Twenty twenty-five draws near.
Happy birthday, dear website!
I bring comments, so cheer.

The Cave of Dragonflies is twenty-two years old today. It's been an interesting year for the site - fewer updates than I would have liked, but I'm very fond of all the things I have put up this year. I've had a lot going on, but I'm still hoping to get more site updates in before the end of the year.

For this anniversary, I've added the ability to post comments at the bottom of most pages of the site, as a fun little experiment. This makes it a little easier and more straightforward to comment directly on particular content than when you'd have to do it as a guestbook post or update comment. Behind the scenes, like with update comments, page comments actually just go into the guestbook, to make it easier for me to keep track, but will also appear on their respective pages. Some pages don't have comments, either for technical reasons or because I didn't think it made much sense, but comments being enabled is the default for most text-based pages, which is the vast majority; I may go on to disable comments on particular pages or such going forward, though.

Right now, there aren't threaded replies or anything; I figured there wasn't much reason to get into that before knowing if the feature would even see much use. But I might fiddle with it if it might be neat later.

In the meantime, I'm still hoping to actually adapt some more of those Tumblr posts. That one's been on hold pretty much entirely because almost immediately after the Jolteon article I got distracted by a particularly all-consuming obsession with 1966 Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Over thirty thousand words of rambling later, though, I can probably recover some focus for other things soon.
