I first registered KonaFarry.com in early 2019.
Since then, I’ve had effectively the same landing page for my name. The details of the content and layout changed a little over time, but on the whole it’s been effectively the same page for nearly six years now.
Strictly speaking, I could keep that up for the foreseeable future. In some ways I have: The root of this site is quite similar to the original version.
However, sometimes a little change is a good thing.
This new iteration, powered by Hugo, lays a foundation that gives me room to do a lot more with my website, when and if I need or want to. I now have individual (albeit currently very simple) pages for my projects, and of course, can publish the occasional post if I’ve got something longform to say.1
I intentionally am not using a pre-built theme. They’re pretty, but I wanted to have to learn this framework in detail, and I find that’s best accomplished through having to work through all its parts. I’m also not a fan of all the bloat many themes and frameworks come with. This layout is clean and simple—that’s all I need.
Realistically, I don’t see myself “blogging” very much, but it’ll be nice to have this available if I want to. ↩︎
