I was reading an article off hackernews (and it was interesting mind you) but something
about the authors domain caught my eye, it read as author.github.io. I've seen this a couple
of times already but didn't really think much of it.
Until now, especially since I received an email from my web hosting that my hosting will expire
in 30 days. I've been tinkering around with the idea of personal webservers or if worse comes to
worse, migrating back to wordpress dot com. It's been fun using an webserver but if I really thought
, I wasn't using it as much as other people do. Like as you can see currently, I'm "revamping" my web
site to good ol vanilla HTML. For me, as long as I own my domain name - that's really the most important
part of a personal brand - where your content is actually laid is not as important, especially your personal
website.
So I checked out githubIO and while the price is really pleasing (aka FREE), I really thought that my
personal website tied down to my github page quite appealing and also simplifies the uploading of the
newly created pages. As well, I find that I'm able to use GIT via terminal now to upload so that's one less
program (FTP) I have to use.
So I started migrating all of the files, which is easy - had to amend parts of the coding that directs to
the old domain, which now I think in hindsight is something I should've waited a bit more instead of jumping
the gun right away. As well, need to migrate my old blog post to the vanilla format I'm now using.
Tech stuff is so much fun.
