Hello again

Hello again.

I started blogging in 2003 on b2, the precursor to WordPress. But over time, the updates slowed down, and the blog eventually faded away.

Now, I'm diving back in, again, embracing a more minimal and self-sufficient setup with Zola.

Why Zola?

Zola is a static site generator, which means it creates a bundle of self-contained, portable files that can be easily hosted anywhere without the need for dynamic server-side processing. It’s fast, lightweight, and just works.

Zola is built on Rust. I’ve been learning Rust and I am loving it. While there’s no real need to modify Zola itself, the fact that it’s Rust-powered resonates with me.

Zola is Markdown-based. Writing in Markdown is second nature to me. It’s clean, simple, and distraction-free.

Zola uses Tera, a simple templating language. It reminds me of PHP, the good side that is. It’s a refreshing change from the complexity of JSX.

I’m excited to return to the roots of blogging: self-publishing, owning my content, and keeping things simple.
