First Official Post of the website's new Blog


Hello, this is the first official post of this site's new blog system. I originally had plans to include a blog system in the first release of the site a little over a week ago, but I eventually scrapped the idea. However, since the site did better than I expected (roughly 40-100+ daily unique visitors, as per Cloudflare), and in combination with me being bored, I decided to spend a day or two adding blog functionality to the site. There is currently only a view/like counter; I thought about adding a commenting system as it wouldn't be too hard to implement with me already creating the database relationship between a post and a user, but it'd be hard to perfect with form validation, and it'd probably be overkill then.

I don't know exactly what I'll be using this for, but I'll most likely post site updates, new job positions, and a public archive of cool stuff I learn here.
