6 minute read - Published on: 2023/01/27
right now these are manually created by me...but eventually... they will be automated too hahahah!!!
I gotta fix somethin up with github actions and payments, we have a crazy automated system with FNF, but since it's on a private branch, we only have a certain amount of MINUTES we can use! I need to write something like a discord bot that can run 24/7 and/or doesn't USE the as much Github minutes... in the FNF repo, there's definitely room for improvement in terms of like... MINUTE optimization... lol
anyways this week was a bit of a slow week with the BLOG DEVELOPMENTS. It's mostly me, ninjamuffin!! writing blogs this week! I'll try to give people some insight on some things we been cookin up
WEEK OF 2023/01/23: FUNKIN BLOG STUFF WAHOO LOL!

Issue extra test teehee

** written by ninjamuffin99** this is a small test for the issue thingie... lol!
what is BPM?
2 minute read - Published on: 2023/01/19
** written by PrincessMtH** a BPM is how many beats there are per minute.
sounds straightforward, but, what is a "beat"? well in my lil DAW there's 4 beats per bar, so it's just a 4th of a bar, clearly. but not all music is written like that. sometimes there's 3 beats per bar... we call that 3/4. so the 3 in that means how many beats there are, and the 4 means... what does the 4 mean...? something to do with steps, surely?
Github actions/issues blog posting pt. 2

BLOG IN PROGRESS

HELLO EVERYONE READING THIS!!!
This is the first OFFICIAL blog post! If you are reading this the day it is published... it means you are a maniac and probably stalk me!
This is a bit of a post to look back at, and I suppose to document the process of even MAKING this damn blog! Moreso for the people in the future looking back a billion blogposts and reading this, and see where this blog started! (or digging through my github to see an abandoned project, doh!)
