I’ve been considering starting a personal blog for some time now.
However, I wanted to do it right, taking my time. Perhaps set up a WordPress1 site, opt for an economical and fast hosting service, choose a good theme, plan the sections…
Today I read an article that dispelled my doubts. It’s far from perfect, but it’s up and running. An account on netlify2, a repository on Github, the Hugo3 framework, a simple theme, a custom domain for 9 euros a year… and voilà! It’s here. Fast and economical. With HTTPS, CDN4, and easily updatable using Markdown5. For the first post, an image from stories.
This blog has two personal goals. The first, to improve my writing. The second, to force myself to capture ideas and reflect. To pause and reflect every now and then. Because sometimes we rush around aimlessly.
If you’ve made it this far, welcome.
