Happy new year! I've finally gotten around to starting a blog on my website! Like this website in general, the structure for this blog is very primitive and somewhat jank, but it works! It's something! I decided to not use any pre-existing blogging platforms/services, fancy tools/frameworks, or anything like that. This is all raw self-typed HTML/CSS, baby!!
Even the XML for the RSS feed I plan on updating manually with each post. This guide is very helpful and makes it look simple enough... I don't think I will be making longform posts too frequently, so I'm fine with doing a bit of extra manual work for each post.
Actually, I didn't plan to create this new blog today specifically, but there was another thing I was planning on starting today that I wanted to make an intro post/page for. I wrote the draft for it ahead of time and it ended up being very long, probably too long to post on the microblogging platforms I usually frequent. I've been wanting a space for me to make more longform posts and I've also been wanting to have a blog on this website at some point. So today ended up being that "some point"!
I was planning on starting one thing today but ended up starting two things today! Both of them on this website! Wow! Personal websites are so cool...
Idk what else to write here. Check out the other post I made! Bye!
