a blog about #meta

I haven’t blogged in many months, but I’ve been meaning to! In that time, I was settling into a relatively new job, I was porting my website over from eleventy to astro, and I was accumulating various blog post topics to write about.

For a while now, I’ve been frustrated that I could not easily form abitrary collections of things for archiving-purposes. There’s art that I have and/or my partner has done and I’d like to be able to showcase it, like I used to on cohost. I’m hopeful that this transition will help make doing so much easier for me.

If there’s anything that looks strange (derogatory), feel free to comment, email, or otherwise ask about it and I’ll look into it. I’ve been trying to test that everything looks good on my RSS feed reader, when I share posts via Discord, etc, but it’s possible that I missed something in the shuffle.

I’ve finally found the motivation to make a personal blog, and not a moment too soon. It’s slow going, but the RSS feed should work. For now, the feed just contains every post with no filtering options, but I’ll probably separate it out into individually-subscribable tag feeds before I post much else.

Part of why this all took so long was because I wanted to find a url that didn’t include my full name and that did allow me to do silly stuff with it, like the blog link being at “graham builds a blog” when you read the url without punctuation.
