Welcome to my very first blog post!
I decided to move away from platforms like Blogger and build my own custom static site generator using Python, Markdown, and Jinja2.
Why Build from Scratch?
- Complete Control: I own the HTML, CSS, and styling. No forced themes.
- Speed: Static HTML files load almost instantly.
- Learning: It's a fantastic way to understand how the web actually works under the hood.
Here is a snippet of Python code I might use to parse Markdown:
import markdown
text = "# Hello World"
html = markdown.markdown(text)
print(html)
Stay tuned for more updates as I build out the features of this blog!
