And so, at long last, I acquire a little space of my own. It seems only fitting to start off with a hearty “Hello world!”
Though I’m no stranger to blogging, this is my first time self-hosting a website. The complete and utter freedom is a little daunting, as blank canvasses so often can be, but I’m confident that it won’t take long to settle in. I’ve already succeeded in putting together my first WordPress theme, after all! (Clearly, it’s nothing fancy, but it’s functional. I think.)
Incidentally, don’t be alarmed if the appearance of this site changes from time to time. One of my major motivations for self-hosting was to have a place to practice some web development skills, a privilege I fully plan to exercise. Maybe it’ll even give you some additional motivation to drop in from time to time!
I am a skeptic, scientist, atheist, erstwhile actor (oh, how I lament that word “erstwhile”!), occasional cartoonist, and citoyen du monde (NB: I don’t really speak French, but I like to pretend). So if you’re asking yourself, “What all this about, then?” then the answer is, probably some of that, and also maybe some other stuff.
Good luck with the new digs!
