Launch of the blog
I have for some time been considering launching a blog - not necessarily because I have a lot on my mind. But from time to time do I manage to do something that may be of interest of someone else, so why not share my thoughts and learnings.
When that is said have I been investigating multiple platforms for sharing these thoughts ranging from Twitter, LinkedIn, setting up a Wordpress site, etc. But none of these really attracted me, as they simply didn’t appeal to the geeky side of me.
So instead of any of these options did I investigate the option of writing the blog content in Markdown files stored in Github, as this would allow me to use a workflow very similar to the coding work I do from time to time.
Based on my investigations have I settled (for now at least) on a Markdown based blog powered by Hugo and hosted at Netlify. This way, I can write posts using a simple text editor, add the newly created post to the underlying Git repository and push the changes to Github after which the website will automatically get updated.
With that, I hope that you will find the future posts in this blog interesting.
