This is not a guide, it is merely a collection of blog-ramblings, a collection of things I found to be useful while building this website from the ground up, a to-do list, and a list of things I want to accomplish in my quest building this blog and over time become a blogger.

I have not been posting many posts since I initially created the first version of this blog. I have kept this blog unannounced, and it has been living a kind of secret life. In many ways, this blog is defining who I am and what I do daily, I love the technical part of all this.
