Two sites, I use wordpress for both.

My tech / software / dev blog - running since 2008. https://www.shogan.co.uk/

My Trail and ultra running blog - running a few years now: https://trailrunningforlife.com/

I have a couple of other sites for projects with my kids that we blog about, and some other smaller projects, both of those are static using Hugo.

I'm proud of a lot of things about my site, but maybe the domain most of all: https://xavd.id It's written with Gatsby and hosted on Netlify (which handles the build step without configuration). I picked Gatsby because I wanted to use react/preprocessors, but also wanted to be able to "just write" (and MDX lets me do both of those). It also has a vibrant plugin ecosystem and is JS based (vs Ruby, which my previous si…

Great site. Would be cool to pull your Airtable data into Gatsby and render it on your site!

My blog is https://lukesalamone.github.io

Nothing too fancy, just a static hugo site on github pages. I'm most happy with the search that I added, which all happens client-side. The index is only about 129 KB so I'll probably never hit a practical download size limit either. And because it's happening in the browser it's very responsive.

If anyone is curious about the details I also wrote about that here: https://lukesalamone.github.io/posts/rolling-my-own-blog-sea...

I've also written a good amount about chess lately, if anyone is interested in that. Specifically, the intersection of chess and AI, where I've been working on a new type of chess learning tool.

Thank you!

I've thought about it. Honestly the most likely thing is that I'll make a standalone site for media reviews and consolidate everything. That's what I did for this (https://github.com/xavdid/kerfuffle; currently offline) and I was very pleased with the result. ".review" is a TLD, so I spin it up under something there. :)

The site doesn't have a particularly stylistic design, and my writing tends to focus on theistics and cognitive philosophy.

The physiological constraints of free will https://specularrealms.com/genetic-freedom

Secular vs God's morality morality https://specularrealms.com/godsmorality

But I also write goofy articles like how Sean astin used basic programming language to hack a password. https://specularrealms.com/2021/04/21/strangest-things
