This blog is built around a simple constraint: keep the charm of early personal websites without bringing back their worst habits. The page chrome is intentionally old-school, but the reading column is simple, stable, and easy to scan.

Tailwind drives the shared styles across the homepage, archive, and posts. The components stay minimal, which keeps the site fast and keeps content changes straightforward.

The palette leans into classic blue-gray framing and white content blocks. Link colors follow familiar browser-era conventions so navigation remains obvious at a glance.

If you want to personalize it further, the main things to replace are the site title, the home page copy, this page’s text, and the placeholder post images. The structure is already set up so those edits stay content-focused rather than requiring another round of layout work.
