Site updates
Update: And now I've moved to Squarespace. There's more I want to be able to do with my site than what Adobe Portfolio would enable. Why Squarespace over Wordpress or others? A discussion for another time.
Update: I’ve now moved the site back to Adobe Portfolio. I’m pretty happy with how easy it is to manage and customize. And it’s free (as in beer) with the Creative Cloud subscription I’m already paying for.
Since my posting is pretty inconsistent, I grew weary of paying Wordpress $40/mo just to keep things running. It was a chore to upload images in their UI and often uploads would fail. Sometimes full size versions of the images were just… missing from JetPack.¹
So I exported my data and rebuilt the site myself. It’s static using flat Markdown files and easy to update—just merge and push to the main branch. It’s built with next.js and deployed on Vercel and it is speedy. The images are hosted with Cloudinary. The whole thing, at least for now, is free to run.
There may be some features to add later, like tags/categories, related posts, and a contact form². But I’m pretty happy with the site as-is for a while.
Anyway, here are some recent photos.
