2025 will be the year of the revival of the blog.
…or at least it will be for mine.
Not for a particular reason; I’ve been blogging on and off since 2003, back when Blogger was still a thing, Twitter did not exist, and personal blogs didn’t receive spam but 10+ comments on every post, and that with only 20 visits. I stopped and restarted on different platforms to play with the tech or because I felt I had something to share. And that something always felt cringe a year later, which resulted in clicking ‘destroy’ (and no guarantee that will not happen this time).
The web is different now. But even more exciting. And yes, trying out Hugo on Cloudflare Pages (yet another tech stack) is also a reason to satisfy the nerd in me.
Another reason: I enjoy writing more. To gather my own toughts, to help me grasp a concept.And to have a fallback and library to go back to, re-read, re-write, and share.
What to expect? Keep your expectations low, very low. I’m doing this for myself. But if you enjoy what you see (or not), let me know on X.
