Static Site or CMS? How I Pick the Stack

Static Site or CMS? How I Pick the Stack

Who publishes, what changes live, and whether you need logins pick static vs WordPress better than any framework ranking.

Why I Focused on Open Source Technologies

Why I Focused on Open Source Technologies

Open source wasn't a purity test for me. Freedom mattered more than free - install tonight, read the code, move your files, own the stack.

Free Tier Hosting Stack

Free Tier Hosting Stack

Hugo, GitHub, and Cloudflare Pages ship static sites for $0 - until build caps, queues, or account limits bite.

Selling Static Sites

Selling Static Sites

Charge for the build and pass-off; hosting is a clear line item, not a mystery bundle.

Git-Based CMS

Git-Based CMS

A git CMS commits markdown to the repo so clients get buttons while the same push-live build still runs.

Getting Started

Getting Started

I keep one clear claim per note page and let wikilinks plus /notes/ do the browsing.

Digital Garden

Digital Garden

My garden is where notes grow in public - linked, imperfect, alive on Hugo and Git.

Drafting in Public

Drafting in Public

Drafting in public keeps the garden honest with rough posts and feedback instead of private hoarding.

Future-Proofing Knowledge

Future-Proofing Knowledge

Future-proof notes with plain text, open tools, and exports tested before a vendor locks you in.

Maps of Content

Maps of Content

Hub notes get written by hand when one topic spreads across too many files to hold in memory.

Metadata Strategy

Metadata Strategy

If tagging a note takes longer than writing it, my system is fighting me.

The Garage Concept

The Garage Concept

The vault is the garage for scraps and experiments - the blog is the showroom, kept separate.

The Second Brain Workflow

The Second Brain Workflow

Capture to inbox, organize by project, distill on reuse, express weekly - CODE and PARA in one loop.

Sustainable Online Publishing

Sustainable Online Publishing

Social media is easy to start and risky to depend on. I publish on my own site anyway - a free stack that works and why the habit matters more than the tools.

HugoPlate: The Theme Quietly Powering This Site

HugoPlate: The Theme Quietly Powering This Site

After losing half a Saturday to theme-shopping, I picked HugoPlate - a year later I'm still on it. What I changed and where it still bites.

How I Built JoRap Notes: After Losing PHP Hosting

How I Built JoRap Notes: After Losing PHP Hosting

I lost my old PHP hosting and a chunk of my work. A weekend later I landed on Hugo + GitHub + Cloudflare Pages - faster and better than what I was paying for.
