This whole site is four files

Every blog seems to begin with a post that says hello, so: hello. This one now lives at a proper domain of its own, which makes it feel less like a folder on my laptop and more like a place.

What's under the hood

Almost nothing — and that's the point. The entire site is plain HTML and CSS:

blog/
├── index.html    the front page
├── post.html     one post (this one)
├── about.html    who's writing
└── style.css     how it all looks

Publishing something new means duplicating post.html, changing the words, and adding a link on the front page. No build step, no database, no framework to keep up to date.

Why keep it this simple

• It loads instantly, even on a slow connection.
• There's nothing to break, expire, or quietly stop working.
• Twenty years from now, a browser will still open these files.

The old promise of the web still holds: write a document, link it to others, and anyone, anywhere can read it.

That's the whole idea. More soon.
