I did it!

I finally got myself to build an actual, working portfolio website (trying not to jinx this).
…listen, I know the title is lame but I had to do the classic thing for my first upload!
So, welcome to my brand new blog! I’d been wanting to create some front-page for myself for a while, now. I had a few, let’s just say, unsuccessful attempts at building something from scratch, like I always want to do. But I came across the Astro Framework recently, which turned out to be perfect for my needs: having a simple workflow of Markdown to HTML.
I wanted something that I can just write blog posts in my favorite text editor, and have it replicated on my website. Little did I know, this is literally what a lot of tech blogs out there are doing. Yay!
For now, it’s pretty bare-bones. As I’m writing this, there’s not even an ounce of CSS touching this entire website. I’ll keep working on this project as time goes on, adding more posts and a touch of style to go with it.
Once my blog is a bit more presentable, I’ll make a post introducing myself, which I know would be redundant with the “About Me” page you see above this text, but I feel like it’s the right thing to do.
Hopefully at some point this place becomes the hub of everything I learn and want to rant about, and I hope you’ll come on this journey with me!
Have a great day <3
