A Blog is Born

Here it is - the first official post of my self-developed portfolio and blog site! I'm still trying to wrap my head around dynamically rendering blog posts, so for now, I'm (embarrassingly) statically rendering them within the blog page. I feel like I'm on the brink of an idea and it involves pushing posts into an array that renders through DOM manipulation on the page. I know it would be a breeze with React or Gatsby, but for now I'm trying to focus solely on JS.

Speaking of which - I started in today on a JavaScript course on Udemy. I always love the beginnings of any JS lessons, books, etc. I'm pretty aware of how far I've come and I love being able to complete all the exercises with relative ease. Looking forward to spending these next couple of weeks focused on that and continuing to strengthen my JS foundation.

I'm hoping to document at least every day or two. I recently shipped a new side project - Three To-Do's A Day. I'll be updating some features and interactivity over the next few weeks, but I just love that feeling of publishing something (even when it's not completely perfect).
