Here's a quick explanation on why I decided to open my own blog, and how I manage it.

I will update it throughout the journey to keep you updated!

Motivation​

If you're considering creating your own blog, I'd encourage you to do so!

It's quite simple to do, and has some real advantages -

• You own your content, and can manage it in git.
• Your domain will gain popularity through SEO.
  • The older your domain and the more links it gets, the higher the SEO score.
  • → The quicker you start, the more your domain will be indexed.
• Helps attract clients as a contractor.

Stack​

The stack I use for the blog is quite simple -

• Domain name
• Docosaurus - A facebook open-source for managing docs and blogs
  • Great tool for managing content
  • Support for Mermaid diagrams
  • Markdown renderer
  • Code block renderer
• Public GitHub repository
• Cloudflare Pages - Compeletely free CDN with CI/CD
• Giscus - For free comment management powered by GitHub discussions.
  • Daniel Farlow wrote a great post on how to integrate Giscus into Docosaurus.
• Google Search Console
  • Ask Google to index your site and get performance audits
