First of all, I really enjoy using FlatPress as my blogging platform. I find it to be very versatile, easy to use and maintain. Thanks a bunch to the development team!

I'd like to share my two FlatPress retro blogs with the group:

https://www.movievault.in.nf - for my movie collecting blog
https://www.retrocollector.in.nf - for my video gaming collecting blog

Stop by and share a comment or two!
David.

Unfortunately both URLs no longer work. :(

According to Considering going back to static HTML David can still be reached via https://www.my64.in.nf/doku.php, which is driven by DokuWiki.

I'm really sorry about that. I just didn't have the disposable income any longer to pay for the hosting fees. :( I had to cut back on what I could do on-line. It wasn't anything to do with FlatPress. If I do get a chance to put up another blog, it will be a FlatPress blog.

If Admin thinks it's best to remove this thread from the forum, I completely understand.

Sorry to hear that.

Can't you host it on (a subdomain) of https://www.my64.in.nf/?
