WordPress was the CMS I’d use when spinning up cPanel websites on a $30/year Namecheap shared hosting plan in the fifth grade. That is to say I’m somewhat familiar with it.
For the past few years, this site has run on Hugo, which I covered in a previous post. In fact, I had a second site, running on the “notes.” subdomain, also using Hugo but on a different hosting service. That site was easier to update and ended up being where all of my writing went. That website has merged1 with my “main” one, and all of its content lives here now.
This WordPress instance is running on EasyWP WPEngine because it’s fast and cheap reliable. They seem to have a strange hobby in suspending it for abuse, but hopefully that stops be fantastic so far.2 The theme is an ever-so-slightly modified version of the basic Twenty-Twenty Five one.
I have ideas for things to write about, but I’ve learned my lesson about making promises in that department. I’m mostly looking forward to finishing this post so that I can point the domain to this site.
1My second site is still up at the time of writing, but it’ll disappear soon, and all of its content is already here!
2EasyWP didn’t work with a custom domain, at least the way I was trying to configure it. Well, it sort of did in that some of the content showed up on the custom domain, but all the site’s references were to pages on the EasyWP subdomain. This is probably just a setting in WordPress, but WPEngine had a Cyber Monday sale and cashback.
