My First Post

Overview

Why a blog? Why this blog? Why blog at all?

Why a blog?

  • Easy for me to record what I'm planning to do, how well it went and provide a place to reflect
  • I quite fancied learning about modern blogging platforms like Hugo (which I'm currently using) and doing some CI/CD deployment on Netlify via Github.
  • It's better than starting a podcast
  • Who doesn't need another lockdown project?

Why this blog?

  • Built in Hugo - modern quick static website generator
  • Hosted on Netlify via Github.
  • Easy for me to maintain it and keep it up to date
  • Great place to record my learning and progress, and it might be useful to someone else

Why blog at all?

  • The discipline of blogging forces reflection, with reinforces learning and provokes a review of plans and goals
  • Who doesn't need something to do in lockdown?
