Hello there! Welcome to my Brand New Blog!
I hope you’re excited to be reading this, because I’m excited to be writing it. Let’s get some information down about the blog/site/me:
- There is no guarantee that I will write anything here on any sort of schedule — I could be busy, or I could be “busy”. Hopefully, what I do write will be interesting, though.
- Blog topics will probably range wildly. I expect a lot of technical stuff (such as “How did I do this project?”), but there will also liekly be other areas. I will try to tag posts well.
- Speaking of tags, at the time of writing, they are all this teal color:
and link to 404 pages (see how I cleverly framed it as deliberate?). These are both planned to change in the future. Ideally, if I get tags for specific programming languages, they will match the color found on the projects page for that language (which in turn matches GitHub). Tags may link to their own collection pages, or may link nowhere at all. I reserve the right to make that decision later. - I have a habit of Capitalizing Some Words in Sentences in order to Emphasize Specific Ideas. I’m pretty sure I picked it up from Winnie the Pooh (self-described as “a Bear of Very Little Brain”), so if you think you’ve seen it before, that might be where.
- This website is build by Jekyll, and is hosted on GitHub Pages. This means that the entire website is version-controlled — anything you see on it will be in the history. You can see the project here. I don’t plan to mess with the history unless I accidentally publish confidential information (e.g., passwords).
- That said, despite everything being backed up, posts have a date that they were “written on”, and so I don’t plan to drastically change them after that date. I’ll probably correct spelling/grammar without noting it, I’ll make things clearer and put a note, and I’ll post “Redux” posts (or some other name) if a large explanation is required.
- Expect some upcoming posts on how I made this site, I guess. (when I say “how I made”, you should think “what weird/cool things he’s doing”).
