My First Blog Post — Building This Site

Hey everyone! 👋

This is my first ever blog post on this site — and fittingly, it’s about the process of making this site.

Setting up the tech stack has been both a joy and a bit of a headache at times. Some parts were surprisingly smooth, others… not so much. One of the bigger pain points has been dealing with CMS systems — especially routing everything properly through Netlify. It turns out that getting things like Decap CMS to play nicely with GitHub isn’t always straightforward. After some trial and error (and a fair amount of googling), I managed to create a workaround that finally made it all sync up the way I wanted.
