Famously, "Test Post, Please Ignore" is the inaugural start to new forums. And "Hello World" is the inaugural start to learning a new programming language. I’m not sure what a blog uses, but "Hello World" feels more approriate considering asciidoctor (markup language) will be used extensively for writing here. You may notice this is not a WordPress/Blogger or other major blog site, but a custom built blog forked from the hubpress.github.io repository. Essentially, setting up this blog let me learn many things about site hosting, css, html, and DNS routing.
Tags
I’ve described this as a semi-technical blog and I will try to keep to that in both aspects. I want to start writing more on technical aspects of my studies and keep writing on things related to my hobbies. I separate them the best I can using the tag system, allowing readers at a glance to skip over topics that may not interest them and for me to find things more easily. Sometimes I need to reread a post I’ve written to remember a salient point or small detail.
