I started a blog in 2012 and stopped after four posts. This is my second attempt.

<p>In May 2012 I started a blog. It got to four posts and stopped in October the same year. It's still up at <a href="https://blog.yprez.com">blog.yprez.com</a>, mostly for history. This is my second attempt. I'll try to be more consistent this time.</p> <p>I build software: products, and services for clients. Recently we started a small company, and it's slowly growing. I plan to write mostly about that.</p> <p>I might not be very good at writing, but I want to improve, and this is my way of practicing. Hopefully some useful content comes out of it along the way.</p> <p>Platforms shut down, change their terms or hide posts from search engines. So I want this blog on the open web, on my own domain.</p> <h2>How it's made</h2> <p>The first blog ran on Pelican, a Python static site generator, with content in reStructuredText and its source on GitHub.</p> <p>This one is a small custom Python build: Markdown files, Jinja templates, plain HTML out, hosted on GitHub Pages. It works without JavaScript and sets no cookies. Every page passes HTML validation before it deploys.</p> <p>I use AI to research, draft, edit, review and check every claim against its source.</p> <p>Let's see if this blog gets past four posts.</p>
