Testing, testing... Is this thing on..?

In terms of tech, this whole blog is held together by the most unstable CSS/HTML/NJK I've ever written but you know what, nothing like figuring stuff out as you go! This blog post itself is a markdown file and the HTML post is made using Eleventy, a static site generator (at least that's how I think it works). I don't need anything fancy/complicated for this site so stumbling on Eleventy was perfect for this. Web development is definitely not one of my strong suits so the fact I have something presentable in the form of a website is nothing short of a miracle.

In an attempt to decrease my social media usage, I've been inspired to give blogging a try. Scrolling through Ye Olde Blogroll and seeing so many other people's personal blogs, it made me want to give it a try. And yes, I do realize the irony in trying to decrease social media usage by creating a blog but what I've noticed when scrolling through various other people's personal blogs is that they're just so neat, unfiltered, and unapologetically themselves and there's something so beautiful about that compared to scrolling on your average social media site.

I believe we all have something to say and share with the world so this blog is my attempt at doing that in my own way.
