Ghost Hipster — Returning to the Blogsphere

Three years since the last post here. The last few months were the kind of hectic that turns projects into a mess and your forehead into a thing you bang against walls. Somewhere in the middle of that I started writing again, mostly for myself.

I spent a few weekends evaluating where to land. Tried writing my own engine, tested a handful of others, then circled back to Ghost — simple, opinionated, attractive. Big thanks to Oswaldo Acauan for Ghostium; this site uses a lightly-modified version.

The deeper reason for the move is that I’ve been living inside the MEAN stack on a few client projects, and at some point the cost of staying on WordPress for a personal site I rarely touch stopped making sense.

The actual challenge isn’t the platform. It’s the discipline. I’m going to try to write once a week and see what survives.

Ghost Hipster, then.
