Translating from My Head

What it is Versus What I Wanted

Setting up my own site should be great, right? I have things I want to do, or share, or say, and I want a way to put them online so people can find it.

The issue is, well, mostly me. I have so many ideas and end up researching so much around the system to use that I forget about how I want to use it. Even more irritating, I also end up stalling on the content side of things as well. That's more from the platform I chose than anything, and not due to the platform itself!

I think what I run into a lot is a problem where I want to say something but either have a partly-thought-out idea, or something short that isn't worth the effort and overhead of writing up the way I wanted to share.

Current setup (and the last couple of iterations) have been SSGs. It's great because I can host through GitLab or GitHub and it's really fast. It's not-as-great in that I'm not as solid on setting up my environment to manage the site and the content. I've got it working, but not working for me.

Maybe I'll look at publishing using Obsidian instead. It would tie into the setup I'm used to (including backlinks and Markdown formatting), and is almost what I'm using to write on a daily basis anyway.

The irony? I wrote this note out in full in less than fifteen minutes. That's gotta be a personal record for writing an entry.
