I built a new CMS within my site using Flask to...well, mainly...let me write online again.</p> <p>This site is already using Flask for some tasks, but it was done mainly for a graduate school requirement. Since finishing my master's degree, I ripped out a lot of the stuff I had to add and left it pretty much alone. Just about a year ago, <a href="https://blog.ohheybrian.com/2024/01/open-for-comments/">I added comments</a> to my static site by setting up a small database here. It works well and I was happy to have that added function.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.ohheybrian.com/2023/01/ive-moved-my-blog-again/">I've been using Pelican since 2023</a> for my main blog and I like the static site, but I missed being able to just pop open a form and fire off some thoughts. So, here I am.</p> <p>I'm keeping it separate for now. Welcome to <strong>otherblog</strong>. </p> <p>I'm not sure how long that will be, but it is what it is. It's got RSS set up, <a href="https://ohheybrian.com/feed">so you can subscribe to posts</a> if you want updates.</p> <p>Much of this new site's layout was <em>heavily</em> inspired by Leon Paternoster. Sorry Leon. Thanks Leon. I hope we get to meet someday.</p> 2025-11-30T23:00:24.692168-05:00
