New Blog

Well, I've finally gone and gotten a blog stood up. I've been thinking about doing this for some time, but it's never been enough of a priority. I did see that David Jarman got his up as a learning exercise, and that was really the impeteus I needed to get going.

I decided to use VuePress to drive this site - it means I'm using markdown instead of HTML or a WSIWYG, and I still get to play in the Vue world. It also means I don't have to mess about with (or pay for!) a database server or other persistent storage - it's all static pages being served.

Of course, downside, I have to make commits to a repo to make posts. Not a major issue from my perspective (at least not yet!), but a downside.

I'm hosting this on an Azure Static Web Apps page - again sticking to something I know, and getting free hosting and SSL in the bargain.
