Hello world: launching my new blog

Welcome to my new blog! I wanted a small, fast, no-nonsense home for my writing and my projects — so I built this lightweight static site and put it on Azure Static Web Apps.

Why Azure Static Web Apps?

It has a generous free tier, gives you a global CDN, free SSL, and custom domains out of the box. For a plain HTML/CSS site like this one, hosting effectively costs nothing.

No build step, no framework, no database — just files. That's the whole point.

How it's built

Everything is plain HTML and one small CSS file. To add a new post, I copy an existing post file, change the content, and add a link on the blog index.

blog/
  index.html          ← list of posts
  posts/
    hello-world.html  ← this post
    second-post.html

What's next

I'll be writing about the tools I build and the things I learn along the way. Thanks for stopping by!
