pyesetzMy Blog Year 2020 began on April 14ᵗʰ, when I heeded the call from LiveJournal to please generate content for all those bored people stuck at home due to the Pandemic. The year ended, just a tad late, on January 2ⁿᵈ, with the completion of my week of “random links of the day” posts.
How would a normal person review their year in blogging?- 30 posts written in 9 months.
- 10,402 words accompanied by 62 images (14 of which I had altered)
- 43 comments received from 9 people.
- 41 comments given to (a different set of) 9 people.

<img>, <li>, <lj>, <lj-cut> <p>,
<small>, <span>, <sub>, <sup>, <table>,
<td>, <th>, <tr>, <tt>, <u>, <ul>.
CSS properties used: background-color, border-top, border,

Man, what a stick-in-the-mud I am! None of the HTML tags I used this year
were even invented in the 21ˢᵗ century! Of the CSS properties used,
only object-fit and object-position are at all new and
they didn’t even work properly due to differences between LiveJournal and
DreamWidth. We need to go nerdier…
882 uses of 116 different non-ASCII Unicode characters!
Well, okay then! Can we get a list of all those non-English characters I used? To make the table shorter, we’ll combine characters with similar names. Those shown with a green background are mundane characters often used by Normies, while those with pink backgrounds work only on my laptop, not on my smartphone, so probably shouldn’t be generally used.
