I finally created my personal blog

I finally created my personal blog.

I needed something more flexible than dev.to because it didn't feel right posting whatever I wanted here. And also I wanted something made by myself, something that I can change if I want.

So that I created www.rossanodan.me.

Technical details: I used Gatsby to create it. It's been funny because it's very customisable if you know where to put your hands to the code.

It's still pretty empty, I know, but it won't be forever. I promised myself I will add content constantly.

This looks like a goodbye to dev.to but it isn't. I will continue use it, maybe more as reader than as a write but here I am.

Let me know what you think about my new blog. I'm open to suggestions!!

That's a cool site, but the thing is people have more often press all the links to find the Easter eggs like about me or the domain paid links, they are just like headings, so most of the people often think it's a single page and they leave it, I guess, you have kept a good depth inside the domain paid link,

This dev.to is based on markdown syntax, so modifications can be done through that tags only

Hi Chittoj! I'm not sure I understood your comment, the part about Easter eggs. My website doesn't contain any Easter eggs (for now!) 😄

Sorry for making it as complicated, Ieave about it, it's good now, the thing I mean to say is it looks like a small site until unless they click the headings,

It's an well built site, now it's even clear than yesterday, great work 👍
