Welcome to my new blog about coding! Here, I will share my learning journey as I build a new website.

What I’ve accomplished so far

Installing Astro

First, I created a new Astro project and set up my online accounts. This took less than 15 minutes - most of the time it took was because I originally had the repo on Codeburg VS Github (video on Youtube about why I switched)

Making Pages:

I then learned how to make pages by creating new .astro files and placing them in the src/pages/ folder. File strucutre is still very much importing when it comes to making pages on Astro, but it doesn’t feel alien. Much of what you do is the same as you’ve already done building other pages.

Making Blog Posts:

I’ve been blogging on some platform or another since 2008. This is my first blog post using Astro! I now have Astro pages and Markdown posts!
