New Website

It’s been a while since I managed to get my website off the ground. And by ‘a while’, I mean over 10 years.

I finally bought a domain name last year, then promptly got caught up in everyday life. My blog sat firmly in the ‘nice to have, but not urgent’ section of my work and life to-do list, gathering digital dust.

Here’s what changed, instead of pouring hours into building a bespoke site and endlessly customising the look and feel, I (think) I made the wise decision to use WordPress with a pre-built theme. Now that it’s live, I’m simultaneously a) annoyed at myself for procrastinating and b) thankful for the kind souls who build easy-to-use, legible themes. Phew.

Given my website will be mostly text based, I’ve used one of WordPress’s default themes ‘TwentyTwentyFive’ which looks clean, easy to use, and free of faff.

What I’ll be writing about:

I’ve given some thought to what I hope to cover in my little corner of the internet:

• Lessons learnt from my career and running my own small business – hopefully offering insight and value to others in similar situations
• Self-development experiments and how they actually fare (spoiler: it’s scrappy)
• Things I enjoy and would recommend – hobbies, places, reading, experiences, and personal processes for work and leisure

The only way to get better at writing is to write. So here we are.

Let’s see where this goes.
