Introduction

Here’s my first post on jedswanton.com. This is a new site where I plan to post updates on things like personal projects, flying, life, and many other topics.

I have owned this domain for a couple of years now and decided to finally put it to good use. I’m not a huge fan of social media but I think blogging about the things I’m interested in will help deepen my hobbies, improve my writing and provide a documented history of my life.

For my initial launch I am using Hugo as a static site generator for markdown. I’m still learning about all the tricks for writing in markdown. For Hugo I am starting with the simple Anake theme. I plan to remove that and develop my own custom theme, but I feel like I need to add some content first.

The domain is registered through google domains, site hosting is through firebase, and github is the initial host of source control.
