A quick update

Having (mostly) successfully updated my professional site using Hugo I decided to take a swing at L’s. It was more of a blog format so it gave me some insight into how that kind of functionality could be used.

I also learned I was a dinosaur who still used floats and ended up updating both it and my own site to use flexbox. Learn something new every day! That in itself is worth a post or two.

Netlify

Under the category of learning and things I need to go into greater detail about later, I also switched the hosting of readingwithapencil.com from wordpress.com to Netlify. As a result I have a more flexible site without actually having to pay for anything (WordPress charged for the use of a custom domain).

The workflow works off of Github which I have been using more and more with the Standard Ebooks project so it is pretty smooth. All in all it is really worth of a post of its own but there are so many videos out there it might just serve you (the reader) better to  go watch a couple of them.

But I will eventually jot down my thoughts here…at least so I can figure out what I did when I inevitably break it—that being, originally, the whole purpose of this site.
