First Post

Hi there,

this is more a repost than a post, but since I haven’t done much with the previous version of this blog, I think it still counts. 😅

I’ve decided to start writing more about the things that I jot down while learning about new technologies and API and while developing my pet projects.

For one, this hopefully helps me to improve my technical English writing skill.

Also, writing a somewhat understandable blog post requires me to think more deeply about the matter at hand, and therefore will hopefully improve my understanding and retention of the material.

Migrating to Jekyll

I decided to move to Jekyll as a framework for my tech blog for several reasons.

Wordpress is great and has lots of features but can feel a little heavy at times. I might have to invest a little more time into the setup, but Jekyll seems to give me way more control.

Another point is that I don’t have too much experience with Ruby, and this gives me some opportunity to play around with it.

Now I’m able to quickly write up a post in markdown, and I can publish it by just moving it to the appropriate folder and push to the repository hosted on Netlify.

I will be migrating my first couple of posts from my Wordpress blog over here.

So here are some visual tests

Just to check and see if I broke anything while tweaking the theme… 😅

}

and some inline code highlighting.
