I needed an excuse to display an image
Today I mounted my cross stitch on a piece of foam board.

Hashtags
I added hashtags to my blog! I have a lot of things I want to add to this blog and being able to link each entry with a tag seemed like one of the easier things to knock out. Right now they just appear at the bottom of each entry, but eventually I'll link-ify them and display all the tags somewhere on the page.

Responsive design
Because it's 2020, I need to make my site look a little better on mobile devices. When I first started working on my Teochew site, I used Bootstrap to make it responsive, since that's what I've used at work. That works well enough, but for this personal site, I didn't want to have to rely on a framework. So, I read up on media queries, and I made the width of the content be dependent on the size of the screen. Amazing.

I wanted to start a blog...again
It's June 2020, and the world has been pretty weird since March. My whole way of life seemed to get thrown off by the coronavirus. I'm home a lot more than I used to be. I acted like a bum for the first couple of months, but I'm getting myself back on track. And as a part of that, I'm going to try blogging again.
I don't know, I just really like blogs. I know I have my food blog, but what I needed was a blog where I could write about anything. I also want to make this site a lot nicer, and maybe get back to the Teochew stuff as well. That's going to take some time, but in the meantime I'll just post my thoughts here.

I wanted to start a blog
Summer is a busy time of the year for me. Somehow the whole summer gets planned out before May even starts and it already seems like we don't have enough time to do everything that we want to do. Summer is when too much life gets in the way of my New Year's resolution, and I neglect to update my site for a few months. Well, things are getting back to normal, so it's time for me to be a productive person again.
I needed a place to keep myself organized and keep track of my goals. I guess I could have used an actual journal, but then I'd have to buy a journal, and one of my goals is to save money. I don't intend on this blog ever being useful to anyone other than myself. We'll see how long I can keep up with this.
Oh, yeah I'll get back to learning more Chinese and updating the site eventually.
