This morning I was able to identify the buggy element of the commenting system and now things seem to have settled down on the site in that respect. Or, rather, comments and WordPress.com integration have been behaving as expected all day and I’ll count that as a win.
First off, I want to thank everyone for their apparently infinite patience as I try to debug the site since it went live just under a week ago. I appreciate everyone’s understanding and the helpful hands I’ve been getting from all across the globe.
As I described in my last post for this series, Towards the Within, I have decided to do a bit of discovery when it comes to music and report back what I found on that adventure. Briefly: I seeded a “radio station” on YouTube Music with several darkwave and experimental folk bands, set it at high discovery and high artist variety. I tried to give preference in my “seed” to non-English-speaking artists to drive the algorithm in that direction. And then, I set off a darkened path and into the labyrinthine woods I had just created.
Did I find something interesting in the deep woods? Or did the monsters eat me?
burning inside and writhing with their words spoken during long ghost nights carried in smoke on the wind hey hey sang they hey hey medicine for the longing within
passing white sage silver on the circle all around the pounding of our hearts the bellows of our winds and the burning inside and the burning within
