Welcome to my new site!

Hello there, Welcome to my new personal blog

Why did I create this site?

I intended to create this site as an experiment and as a way to express myself without relying on social media, most social media sites in my opinion are no longer designed for long posts any more.

Why did I choose GitHub pages + Jekyll instead of another service?

Well firstly, I confess I can’t afford a personal domain yet, so that explains why I’m using GitHub pages (plus I really like the openness of GitHub/Open-source).

I admit I have no experience at UI design (& I’m sorry, but I don’t want to ever get into HTML/CSS), I just want a simple blog style site with a minimalist/utilitarian kinda feel, but I found Squarespace/Wix to be designed more for portfolios and businesses, I once had a WordPress site, but I didn’t enjoy its editor.

My plan is I will my make blog with GitHub Pages and one day I will make a portfolio/CV website on either Squarespace or Wix.

What to expect?

I don’t have a plan planned out, but I’ve been thinking of writing about:

• Personal life
  • Love of Capybaras
• Music
  • Album/Song reviews/analyses
  • Musical equipment usage/review
  • Music production
• Films/TV Shows
  • Film reviews/analyses
  • TV Shows reviews/analyses
  • Anime reviews/analyses
• Video Games
  • Video Game reviews/analyses
• Computer stuff
  • Computer hardware repair/maintenance
  • Computers (parts & equipment) reviews
  • Operating System reviews
  • Programming
  • Game Console stuff (also maybe)

Are things here open-source?

Answer is most will be, but I’m still learning about licences and I will probably keep some stuff (such as photos/audio) copyrighted, but if you need anything from a post then feel free to ask for permission.

A note on commenting

I just found out that I can allow commenting on the site, but I’ve decided to turn it off for now, but will probably enable it later
