2016's Hot New Blog, Round Three

Oct. 16, 2016 11:30:25

Spent another Sunday morning coding a makeshift blogging platform for myself. The features I've included this time are:

• source files are Markdown
• a directory of .md files with formatted filenames are cobbled together into a gigantic index.html
• basic CSS, no navigation features

Essentially, I'm just trying to remove barriers between myself and putting text onto the Internet again, without relinquishing control to a SaaS platform or b(l?)ogging myself down in weird templating languages (Markdown excepted). Sometimes there are things I want to mull over, and writing seems like the best way, but I hate to do that in a lonely text file on a hard drive somewhere. Much better to use that server space I have for something, right?
