This version of the site went live on 1 November 2024. I think it’s the fifth or sixth iteration of the blog thing. This time, I’m using Hugo CMS, a static site generator, It’s pretty nice. The theme is a very mangled version of Hermit-V2. Hosting is on Render, which made it really easy to host a static site. I’m not 100% happy with this yet (probably won’t ever be, tbh). There's still lots to do here - especially cleaning up the older content, which has been exported and re-imported from various CMSes a heap of times. Under-construction dot gif.
