Creating a Free, Open-Source Blog
Join me as i'm creating an open-source blog, sharing the process and my passion for community and creativity
A Journey of Creation and Sharing
Hellooo fellow developers ;P
Welcome to the very first post on my brand-new blog! I'm thrilled to share this journey with you, where I'll be documenting the process of creating this blog website adopting the same idea i used in my own portfolio. This isn't just any blog—it's a project born out of passion, creativity, and a desire to give back to the community.
From Portfolio to Blog
For a long time, my portfolio has been a personal showcase of my work, skills, and experiences. It has served as a professional hub where potential clients and collaborators could learn more about me and my projects. However, I always felt it could be more. I wanted it to be a dynamic space where I could share my thoughts, insights, and the lessons I've learned along the way.
That's how the idea for this blog was born. I decided to transform my portfolio into a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and resources. This blog will be a place where I can connect with like-minded individuals, foster discussions, and hopefully inspire others in their journeys.
Open Source and Free for All
One of the core principles I believe in is the power of open source. By sharing our work and collaborating openly, we can create incredible things together. That's why I've decided to make this blog website open-sourced under the APACHE 2.0 license.
What does this mean? It means that anyone can access the source code of this website, use it, modify it, and distribute it. The APACHE 2.0 license ensures that the code remains free and accessible to everyone, while also providing legal protection for contributors.
Why Free?
You might be wondering why I'm offering this website for free. The answer is simple: I believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. I've benefited immensely from the open-source community, and this is my way of contributing. By making this website free, I hope to empower others to create, learn, and grow.
What's Next?
In the coming posts, I plan to share various insights and stories, but I want to hear from you! If you're interested in learning about how I built this website, from concept to deployment, let me know. I'd be more than happy to dive into the details and share tutorials, tips, and tricks.
You can check out my blog at iconical.dev/blog and leave your feedback or support me there. Let's make this journey interactive and collaborative. Looking forward to connecting with you all!
Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey. Let's build something amazing together!
