<2024-08-03 Sat> My First Org Blog Post

I've been using Emacs for somewhere around a year now, and so far it's been (mostly) painless. I'm also coming at this from the perspective of someone who's always known a fair bit about computers, and who enjoys the prospect of spending hours on end screaming at them until they work how I want them to.

I've been on and off looking for a static site generator I like, and most of them are fine. If you want to make a blog, which this is. I don't always want to make a blog though, and that gets real difficult when it comes to most SSGs I've run into. So I decided to look for an alternative, and none really existed, so I resigned myself to using a weird combo of mkdocs and hexo for what I needed when I needed, which lead to inconsistencies in how things looked because I don't know CSS like that.

In comes me seeing this System Crafters post about building a website with org mode. So I decied to plonk down their basic config and then bash around with it to see if I could get it to work how I wanted it to.

Spoiler alert: I could, and that's what you're reading this on.

It's especially nice since I can actually like. Make my files in a way that I like doing and then not have to convert them into markdown after, which is a pain in the ass :D

That's all this is, it's not some really long post like I usually do. I'm also going to be working on porting all of my old posts from the Fall County blog to this one so the FC blog can focus more on being about game development, where this one will be my inane ramblings about everything from Emacs to Tarot cards.

Also I'll probably make a more in-depth post where I go into how exactly it happens and such, but that'll be later.

Have a nice day!
