Moving on...

I love working on all sorts of projects. Apps, games, websites (to some extent)… I’ve always found joy and fun in creating new projects.

I was content with my website, going strong for nearly four years on GitHub Pages with custom CSS and Jekyll static site generation. It was great having an extended level of control over how the website looked and interacted. In recent iterations, I focused a lot on speed and readability by trimming out large images and focusing heavily on text posts.

While I’ve had a blast being able to control every aspect of my website, I’ve found that I’ve updated my website less often enough to warrant using a static site generator like Jekyll. In the previous months, I’ve looked heavily into alternative platforms such as WordPress and Write.as. As of today, I’m pleased to say that, after some deliberation, I have migrated my website, posts and all, to the Tumblr platform.

Tumblr was certainly not the first platform I would think of continuing a blog on, given that there were plenty of other options. However, given that Automattic, the parent company responsible for WordPress, is also managing Tumblr, I feel confident in my content’s new home. Additionally, Tumblr provides the controls I need for my website and blog, along with a simple interface for writing blog posts like this one.

I’m not entirely sure if this will guarantee more posts coming in the future at faster frequencies, but at least I won’t be obstructed by tool chains. The only obstruction I’d have would be writer’s block, which is something I’ve handled a lot in the past.
