This is my first real post in this blog. (There may still be some test posts lying around.) I've had blogs before but this is the first one hosted on a cloud service, rather than a blogging site, and the first one under my own domain.
Why have I set this up? Well it occured to me that a blog, by modern standards, doesn't actually take up much file space. So I realised I could construct my own blog, my own way using a small amount of general purpose cloud storage that I have available.
The posts are created on a text editor that can then convert them to HTML using user defined templates. The whole site is stored in a directory on my phone. I then use a backup program to copy the blog to the cloud overwriting the previous blog completely.
