Creating a personal website: a short practical guide

After a long time of preparations and attempts, I finally managed to set up a nice-looking personal website in anticipation of my PhD, so to help people in the situation of me-a-few-months-back, I decided to write about my experience with some hints how to avoid at least some of the inevitable frustrations.

By no means is this a comprehensive resource, but is instead intended so that beginners can have a working site without (or before) actually having to become web developers themselves.

So give it a read and let me know what you think!
