4 minute read Published:

Welcome to the first of a series of update posts I’ll be doing occasionally! This week, the site and email has been migrated to a new host New Host I’ve moved the site off of Ghosted and my Email off of ProtonMail. Now I’m using NearlyFreeSpeech and Gmail. Overall this should allow me to provide the same site for way less money and have more control over it. Why switch? While Ghosted was a quick and simple way to get Ghost up and running, there was a few things that made me want to switch.

Funny titles aside, welcome to a new year with a new redesign for the site! Keep reading to learn about the changes or skip to the bottom for a tl;dr changelog. What’s New Theme The theme is changed from Caffeine by Kelvin Nguyen to Mapache by GodoFredo. Both themes are good but I liked the more modern style and easier customization of Mapache. Example: Caffeine required code editing to change Social links and logo while Mapache does it with Ghost’s simple Code injection making it easier to update.

So if you know me, I have a “habit” of constantly moving my site cause “reasons”. This time, hopefully this will be permanent now that I got great software and money to keep it alive!

Another one I used is Jekyll.

Life is hard, here is why I missed Home Screen Sunday!
An Apology Sorry for no HSS/Home Screen Sunday post last weekend. I am sorry if you expected it and it didn’t happen. Why? The reason why I missed it is because my dad was in the hospital on the Friday before and we all thought he had a heart attack but in reality, he had some really bad indigestion from Chili. Stupidest reason ever, right? However it made our life a little bit of a mess over that weekend.
