Welcome to my little corner of the universe. The trend is to do everything through social networking these days but having my own personal site that I built with my own two hands feels better.
Of course I didn't actually build this from the ground up - I used Wordpress, but, given my skill level at writing a website from scratch, it would have taken until 2025 to get my site up and by that time it would be so obsolete that you wouldn't even think it was quaint.
