Site Development
Hi all! Twenty-four years ago, a much younger man got his first and only domain, koamar.com
. Since then, it's gone from trying out goofy things with FrontPage (I know!) to a straight up message of defeat.
Now that I'm retired, I want to keep learning and working on creative things. I'm trying to learn and create in public. Part of that, to me, is describing how this site came to be. I believe it will be a chronological journey of all the major (and some minor) milestones I've encountered. I hope there is something helpful (or humorous) for someone!
Updates so far!
- Dark Mode Implementation with Tailwind CSS
- A page of code snippets for working on syntax highlighting
- A page of Mdx content for working out all the rest of the styling
- Site: Initial Setup - First post in the Site Development section!
- Navigation up and running!
- Each landing page is defined with an Mdx file. That was fun to figure out.
- A hero displaying, thanks to a lovely tutorial by Chris Bongers
- There are now enough Site Development posts for pagination! Is this what is called a Devlog?
- Moved all this silliness here to make way for Recent Posts on the front page.
Be well!
