Thanks for the encouragement. I've been meaning to start a blog for over a year now. Life keeps dropping hints that I need to blog, like getting interviewed for technical articles and finding sponsorship for maker projects out of nowhere, but I've still been resisting because I worry about what my perfect first article should be. The sooner I get to writing instead of overthinking, the faster I will feel some relief.

I've also given myself permission to use a template, as overengineering the site itself has been a blocker in the past for me. I haven't found front-end development to be exciting as of late, so I am not going to force myself to do every aspect of this project from the ground up. I can always refactor the site and even relaunch with a complete layout revamp, but all of these options require a blog to begin with!
