Rising from the ashes

Posted on June 10, 2017

I used to blog on Wordpress, mainly about ConTeXt, but occasionally about other stuff as well. It has been almost three years since I last posted there. I got busy. Both in my personal and professional life. This is an attempt to restart that blog.

I used to enjoy writing and some of my posts got a lot of traffic. However, I found the Wordpress platform annoying. I am a terminal+vim sort-a-guy, and found writing content on a textarea to be frustating. So, this time around, I am using a static website generator—Hugo.

Many themes are available for blogging with Hugo, but I find them too complicated for what I plan to do. So, I decided to create my own theme. I am still trying to learn Hugo, so this blog lacks many of the features that you associate with a typical blog. I’ll use this barebones structure for a while and see if I miss any of the features.

For old times sake, I have imported some of my old posts to this blog. I might import a few others, if time permits.
