A new adventure begins~
Along with a whole new site design, I am now officially opening my tech blog!
I had been exploring options to get started with the blog for a while, but kept getting side-tracked or busy…
For 4 years — Whoops.
I had looked into using Tumblr, but they have limits to their templates and inline styling that would prevent me from customizing things to the extent I want - like for code block syntax highlighting. I was going to use Github Pages with Jekyll, but I’m not a fan of the Jekyll template syntax - and hosting on Github is also limiting. Running Jekyll locally on my box to statically generate the pages is also plausible, but that involves installing the Ruby language runtime on Windows and that’s an obtuse process. All of the template engines for Express.js have their own weird Domain Specific Languages (DSL) and limitations - some don’t work with newer CSS / HTML standards, for example.
