So it’s been a while since I posted an update on this blog. I guess it seems like I’ve been taking a break from coding, but that’s not exactly accurate. Before starting this site, I spent a lot of time looking at the many web design tools and decided that I wanted to use an SSG to create this blog. I investigated all the major SSGs, Hugo, Gatsby, Jekyll, 11ty and more and decided that Hugo was the best for me as it seemed to have the shortest entry barrier.

So I’m getting back into designing websites for fun. I started learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript several years ago through freecodeCamp and I really enjoyed it, but somehow got out of practice a few years ago. When I had a need to build a few websites several years ago, instead of putting the web design principles that I had already learned, I decided to use WordPress. I built quite a few sites using WordPress and some themes, but I always felt that it was kinda cheating - not really web design.
