update on life and website

Oct. 7, 2024, 5:09 p.m. by Bella Blog



So, I'm transgender now. My name is Bella, and I go by she/them pronouns (at least for now). Now, this has kind of sparked the classic big ol' keep it all under wraps apart from different people stuff. Because of this, I now have '2' websites. I say 2 in quotations because they're the same, but not, you'll see in a second. My existing website bentheminernz.com has all the same deadname, not real me stuff on it and then this new website belladev.xyz has like the real me stuff on it right, It's also a secret kinda.

Now as I alluded to before these are the same website. I'm using some Django trickery to detect what URL you are accessing this website from then serving you different content based on that. For example, the homepage is the same but if you see it from belladev.xyz it'll say bella instead of ben. This is for the sake of my parents and other people not finding out, while still being able to be out to the internet.

I've also made it so certain posts only show on certain sites. So this post for example is *not* visible on my almost decoy site bentheminernz.com, it is only visible here.

An exciting announcement only for this website, is I've got a brand new app coming soon called Brush Em', I won't share any more detail than that but it should be out by the end of the year. (yes you're still under NDA and you know who you are <3)

This 'blog' has been very twitter post style and prolly makes no sense but this is almost like an open journal so yeah. till next time :3
