Wow! Just realized I've been blogging for over 20 years, starting way back in August 2004 on kinlan.co.uk with Blogger. The journey has taken me through Posterous and landed me here on paul.kinlan.me with Hugo (and maybe Jekyll at some point). Sure, there's some cringe-worthy stuff in the archives, but it's my history. And honestly, I wouldn't be where I am today without this little corner of the internet. Huge thanks to Tim Berners-Lee and everyone who's made the web what it is!
I love Posterous, but it's time for my blog to move on. I'm looking to hire someone to migrate my blog to a new platform. Must-haves include: static site generation, git integration, markdown/text/HTML support, preserving my current URLs and all imported posts, and full template control. Ideally, it won't be Ruby-based. I'm not concerned about hosted solutions, a fancy CMS, or comments.
I've migrated my blog from kinlan.co.uk to paul.kinlan.me, now powered by Posterous. Hoping this simpler platform encourages me to blog more frequently.
In a previous post, I failed to test the alpha transparency feature. This post rectifies that. I've included an image with a green fade to white against a black background to demonstrate the effect. It may be garish, but it effectively showcases the alpha transparency.
