Hello World!
Overcomplicating my blog for the sake of simplicity
I spent way too much time this weekend setting up a whole new area of my blog, and you’re reading it. It’s another blog under the “projects” subdomain: projects.datalabnotes.com. It’s a Jekyll blog hosted on my GitHub account. The goal is to keep more code and technical articles over here, so they can be easily accessible as jupyter notebooks.
I have a local repo of the blog, so I can save obsidian notes right in the blog posts folder and push them to publish. I can also use a jupyter to markdown converter and generate markdown files from notebooks, yay!
Some cool things about the process of setting this up are
- Reaqcuainting myself with all of these tools and setting them up, sometimes 3 or 4 times, so that they work the way I want.
- Using git regularly! Git is an amazing tool and its fun to work locally and create automated workflows.
Will I continue to write on the main domain, datalabnotes.com, through the Wordpress CMS? Yes, of course! the look and feel of the theme over there are great and I don’t even want to try to create that functionality in a Jekyll blog! Each one has it’s place.
The #1 goal this week will be to get some code out here! Let’s goooo!!!
