The first post on otherblog
This has been a while in the making. I built a new CMS within my site using Flask to...well, mainly...let me write online again.
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, I added comments to my static site by setting up a small database here. It works well and I was happy to have that added function.
I've been using Pelican since 2023 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.
I'm keeping it separate for now. Welcome to otherblog.
I'm not sure how long that will be, but it is what it is. It's got RSS set up, so you can subscribe to posts if you want updates.
Much of this new site's layout was heavily inspired by Leon Paternoster. Sorry Leon. Thanks Leon. I hope we get to meet someday.
