How I set up this blog using Astro
Honestly: I didn't read the docs once.
I wanted to create this blog, transformed from my old freelancing page. But I had no clue how to do that.
I opened OpenCode (which is great btw) and asked it which framework I could use for my new blog page. After a few turns back and forth I decided to go with Astro, and told it to install it for me.
It works like a charm.
Yes, I had to tweak a few things here and there, wanted to change the design a little bit, and needed better systems for new blog posts and adding images. But now it’s just awesome!
Right now I’m just posting to fill the empty space on this blog, but I hope to create some new posts about INTERESTING stuff soon.
I have about 327 ideas in my mind, but keep getting stuck on the same things over and over: starting something, getting to a few roadblocks, trying to fix problems (which usually takes A LOT of time), and then it’s on to the next idea that never gets finished either.
BUT: I am happy that the blog is now working properly. The next big step will be to choose a newsletter platform that I can use so readers can subscribe to my (not yet existing) newsletter.
How exciting!
