Lol, nevermind on that

Sticking with my existing website for now

Well, I am writing from my lovely hotel in London, before I jet off towards Iceland. I know I wrote previously on how I was going to work on a brand new website to enable me to create more content. While I was working on that and making quite good progress, including migrating all my old content, I decided to stop the project. The primary reason in the end came down to cost. In general in my life, I’ve embarked on a finance and expenditure journey with the aim of building a state of financial observability. I have goals in terms of home ownership, buying a car. Plus in general I was just spending a lot more than I should month to month. So I am hoping to see at least the initial fruits of that work in the next few months.

So, I shall stick with my current, Jekyll based website for now. I think to help improve my content creation and structure, I just need to sit down and really learn what Jekyll can do. I am terrible for just sort of scanning the surface layer when it comes to the tools at my disposal. I know in one of my website updates, I basically created some things completely by hand. Yet some of the magic of Jekyll is its templating with liquid. I imagine my gripes with how slow I can be at creating some new things for my website, could be solved by just simply learning more about the tools at my disposal!
