Hello all

as you can see, the blog looks different!

it used to look like this

the old blog, stardrew valley themed

it was themed after stardew valley. it was cute and i liked it a lot. The reasons I decided to give it a visual overhaul are as follows:

  • I didn’t know where to put other pages without it looking bizarre,
  • I’d like to write more long form content about video games and I felt like having my page themed after a single game is a lil biased, and
  • I didn’t feel like touching up the background lol

I had a few goals with this redesign

  • Keep it quirky
  • Keep it readable for old posts (including adding some extra goodies like syntax highlighting)
  • Giving myself space to add more pages and do further experimentation

I suppose this also counts as part of my 100 blog posts challenge, but I’m no longer numbering the titles because that was annoying lol

so, with this redesign I’ve given myself a good foundation to keep hacking away on. hope you like it! new long form posts and possibly other goodies soon…
