A Fresh Start
This is the first article of a new era...
I've decided to begin from a clean slate, begin everything anew and see where the journey takes me.
This new blog will cover a range of topics that interest me:
- General PC Gaming
- WoW
- Linux
- Tech
- Politics
- Personal stuff/ramblings
- ADHD/Autism musings
- Entertainment (TV/Movies/Music etc)
And pretty much anything else that happens to catch my magpie-like attentional gaze! 😄
I chose to run this site on Ghost. Previously I had been a major WordPress user, and well, with things going as they are over there, I decided to move away from WP altogether.
I tried Publii for a while, built on a Netlify host. And while it was nice, having to have access to localised files to be able to edit or publish posts became tiresome pretty quickly. I still love the idea of static html blogs, but that is the major downside. That and the lack of available theming options.
So let's give Ghost a run for a while, and see how it goes! It seems pretty popular, has a lot of theming options available, and is fairly cheap to run ($9 per month).
I have no real interest in trying to get people to subscribe to a newsletter, or become paid "members". I'm hardly a content creation machine, and I don't particularly think that paying for access to posts on a blog is something that a lot of people are willing to do these days. Hell, were they ever?
So let's see how this goes for a while. It's cheap enough that I can update maybe once a week, or a few times a month and not feel like I'm not getting value from it, so it's worthwhile to keep it going as long as possible.
We'll see! 😀
