To share a bit of whimsy, I’d like to reblog alexwlchan’s series about making custom static sites for her own personal archives.

I’ve been following her blog since last year, and the most recent static site adventure is a joy:

Her punny parody posters are hilarious – I might have to do similar for my recommended book list.

I’ll leave off with her final paragraph about why we should make fun little projects like this. It puts to words how I feel about my own coding:

“This sort of fun detail is why I like having a personal blog which isn’t a business or an income stream. I write because I enjoy it, and I can make decisions that don’t make commercial sense because it’s not a commercial website. This side quest had terrible return on investment if you only care about time and money – but it was fantastic for joy.”
