Hello new neighbours!
After resurrecting my (very old) blog a few weeks ago, I decided to move over from Wordpress. It’s a platform I’m very familiar with, but seeing so many personal blogs using Bear and noticing that there’s a strong community feel here too, I thought I’d jump ship and try something new!

Hello new neighbours!
After resurrecting my (very old) blog a few weeks ago, I decided to move over from Wordpress. It’s a platform I’m very familiar with, but seeing so many personal blogs using Bear and noticing that there’s a strong community feel here too, I thought I’d jump ship and try something new!
I must say it’s quite refreshing and fun to go back to basics. I learned to write HTML and CSS many years ago (turn of the century, eek!), but Wordpress has diluted the need to use those skills somewhat so I’m having to re-learn a few things. Thankfully, the knowledge seems to still exist in my addled brain, it just needs a bit of coaxing to come back out!
I also LOVE that I can use markdown. This is something I’ver become used to with my notes app, so I feel very comfortable with it.
I’ve moved my recent posts here, but I’ll be gradually importing the ancient archives as well. I’ve got around 150 of them to do individually, so it will take a while.
Looking forward to rediscovering blogging again and hopefully get to make some new friends along the way!
