Building my own site

I'd been putting off building a personal site for a while. Every time I sat down to start, I'd get stuck picking a template instead of actually writing anything.

This time I started with the layout instead: what do I actually want someone to see when they land here? A short intro, a way to see what I've built, and a way to read what I'm thinking about. Everything else is decoration.

The bookshelf you're looking at right now is that decoration, and I'm okay with that. It's a small, personal way to browse posts instead of a plain list.

More on the actual build (stack, deployment, comments) coming in a follow-up post.
