2/ So. rianvdm.com is a static @jekyllrb blog that’s hosted on @github pages. It has a Micropub endpoint (github.com/voxpelli/webpage-…) so I can post via a variety of open source tools.

🎉 Welcome! Definitely agree this needs to be easier, but it's slow progres. The fact that you were able to get this far is an excellent demo of how much easier it's become compared to 5 years ago!

Totally agree, & I don't want this to sound like criticism. It's been a lot of fun, and I appreciate your work immensely. I'm just eager for my friends to do it too, but know that's not currently feasible for many of them. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
