New site!

I was getting bored with the [old theme](https://github.com/lynxize/serene) (it felt a little too... stuffy) and kind of wanted to try making something myself.

It's still using [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/) (which is great btw) as the site generator, but now with my own HTML templates and CSS.

Is this site perfect? No, far from it. 
The CSS is kind of a disaster, and I'm not quite happy with the look yet. There are a lot of rough edges and missing things relative to the old theme.
But, it exists, and *I* made it. Not ChatGPT, not copy-pasting from someone else's thing, *me*.
  
And that [feels really really good](/blog/wobsite).


I might write something a little more in-depth once I'm happier with the new theme.
Maybe a "look everyone can do this" or "screw bloated websites" post, but I feel like those have been done to death and I don't really have anything new or insightful to add. We'll see.
