Hello, Everyone!
Welcome to my personal space in this digital world. It has been a while since I’ve been thinking of launching my own personal blog site, and here it is, at last. I’m excited to share so much with you throughout my journey as a software engineer!
Struggle
Initiating this project made me go through some difficult choices, for example, choosing the right template or choosing the right place for hosting the site took me on a roller-coaster ride. It may look all easy on the surface, but when we are starting something for the first time, everything seems complex, and we are puzzled by all the infinite choices.
Choices
I decided to go with the astro-paper template as it instantly caught my eye with its beautiful theme and all the features it provides (exactly what I was looking for). For hosting the site, I used Cloudflare’s pages to get those clean-looking pages.dev domain. I’ve also added my site in the Google search console so that it can easily be found when searched. Lastly, for the favicon, I decided to use an avatar that I created using dicebear, an open-source platform for avatar creation. I went with the notionist style as its minimalism resonated more with me. Here’s the avatar I came up with:
Conclusion
I’m really happy with the overall result of this new project, and I’ve learned a lot along the way.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day ahead!
