Naty<p>Pushed a new look to my blog homepage!</p><p>It's not just a "generic" recent post list any more. :) And the top nav/title area is also more streamlined. Lots of little UI changes made in this revision. Excited to continue evolvoing it. Will be adding a changelog section soon...</p><p>Absolutely would love to hear if you've had a look and have any feedback!

Naty<p>Over the past three days, I've been on a deep dive learning <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Hugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hugo</span></a> and how to create a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/StaticSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StaticSite</span></a>, the basics of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Git</span></a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GitHub</span></a>. </p><p>It's so cool whenever I got things to work after every error I encountered! It was a nice challange for sure. </p><p>I also received my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a> 4B 8GB last week.
