A Fresh Start with Some Old Posts
It's time to start writing again. Not just quick updates on LinkedIn, but the more detailed and involving pieces that I love to produce. A good old-fashioned blog, in fact.
Over the years I've scattered work around other platforms like Medium and LinkedIn, and while generally they provide the tools needed to easily share content, I wanted more control over creating, organizing, and preserving my content. Having a personal website is the ideal way to do that.
From the look of the pages to the URL used to link back too, it empowers more creativity in the creation and curation of your work, without having the platform make decisions in ways that could change or break your intented presentation, which they often do. So while I have many new ideas for things to write, I'm going to first re-publish some existing pieces here first, updating and revising them where possible.
For anyone curious about the technical details of the site, I'm using the fantastic Material for MkDocs static page generator, hosted for free on GitHub. I currently use it for all my documentation and project websites, and give thanks to the open source community that supports it.
