Today, while working all my "side hustle" sites, I remembered mylot. I had literally forgotten this place existed.
As I was reading a few posts I was reminded about how I often think about 90's internet. I was always a fan of blogs, and have kept one in one form or another off and on since I first started spending any time online. I was particularly fond of Xanga and how almost everyone there was just blogging about their personal live, and how much I miss the feeling of sharing your life with someone else. I made friendships and connections there like I've never found anywhere else.
Now everyone with a blog seems to be an influencer of some kind or another and always trying to sell you something, or everything.
Then I realzed that here is as close as I'm ever going to find to the old style perblogging that I loved so much. People are always sharing their lives here. I need to quit forgetting this place exists and start playing around here again.

Mylot is the best place to share your stories with the readers here.

My stories are mostly dull, but I'm all for boring the general populace.

I took time from it years ago when it stopped paying for a bit. There were also some design choices that also kept me from interacting. One day, about four years back, I came back. Now payouts are more reasonable, and I can actually read and respond to posts. So, I'm here to stay.

I'm happy the design changes work in your favor. I can see how it would be hard to spend time a place that was hard to read and respond to posts.

Thank you! I don't have a lot of extra time to spend here, but do hope to drop in at least once a day, and make some new friends.

I've got my lot as a short cut on my phone, I just didn't make time to come by.
