upon the birth of Moana, Sun, Bear, and Raya, I am starting to record the history of Lana, Misha, and pups. It is a great feeling. Basically, before I started doing this was prehistory and now there is a record of history. I bet alot of you know what this feels like. Now pics and stories are saved and revisitable.

Dont worry contains no ads, monetization, google analytics, any of that. It's pure; like a sacred thing should be. I have one page to add entries and another to see them.

Anyway, what u think? :)

Not much into 'sacred thing' myself but I can say I quite like the idea ;)

Indeed, they are. And that's one of the reason journaling is so invaluable: we can go back to it and it won't fluctuate like our memories invariably do. I also like your mention of (pre)history, it's spot on.

I haven't seen a page view counter in awhile, it's cool to see one again!

Also, doing a journal on your own website is pretty cool. Although the rules of this community say

Paper and digital alike.

I was under the impression that the community slanted more towards people who journal on paper. So it was nice to have a link to click.

Sorry, I just noticed your comment today.

To make it 100% clear: the community is agnostic and is open to any form of journaling. It will reflect that, hopefully, as soon as more people start posting about digital and analog alike.

As a user I'm mostly analog and since it happens I'm also the admin and the main poster (I would be so happy to see that being challenged!) well it's mostly focused on analog and attracts to like-minded people. So, by all means, feel free to make it a lot more digital if you're into digital. I will happily read that and participate if I think I have anything worth sharing as, along the years, I also have been using digital a lot, I just decided to give up on it :)

I only browse the web on my computer I have no idea how it looks on a phone but here is a couple screenshots on my computer:

I noticed depending the link clicked the same image could be displayed when clicking various links (ie, the SUN->stories->born and the SUN->stories->sun and SUN->stories->helicopter) , thought you might want to know.
