I took at look at your website and it seems like you could easily add blog posts to it!



Hah, thanks. I've been hoping to do so, but still haven't gotten around to it. There's some quirks with the static site generator that I use[0] that lead me to keep postponing setting up blog-ish features, and I don't know enough python to fix them.

If you ever want to try a new static site generator, I use Hugo[0] to generate my site. There's a lot of pre-built themes[1] you can use. Most (if not all) have blogging functionality built in, all you need to do is drop in a Markdown file with your content. You may need to learn a little bit if Golang if you want to customize themes. Just throwing it out there as an option.

Thanks! In writing out my reply to you I realized that I should look into other generators (specifically looking into Hugo, as I think I've seen it used by people like myself who take notes in Obsidian). The key features I want are backlinks support and blogging features, along with Markdown support.


Not having a convenient and current publishing path shouldn't stop you from writing. Start your drafts folder!
