### Setting up a website

I remember setting up a website in 2012. It was a disaster. I hated coding HTML and CSS. I ended up focusing on that so much that I wouldn't write anything. In today's world, things are a lot different. A lot of frameworks exist out there that help you focus on just writing content and handle all the "other stuff". I am grateful for all the hard work people have done to allow people to easily write content.

I hope to put more blogs out there when I finish setting up some of the core components of the website. Till then.
