hello everyone! if anyone had previously seen this website, you may notice that this is now a very different page!  

for the first time, i have decided to sit down and properly attack some html and css (as well as some evil javascript) head-on to create a landing page i can be proud of.

for this website, i have decided to use [zola](https://www.getzola.org) as my framework.  
i chose a static page generator because databases horrify me, and i'd prefer to have all the code available in [one git repo](https://git.nixfox.ca/Bun/nixfox-reborn.git).

this has allowed me to maintain using entirely custom html and css (aka, no templates), without the hassle of maintaining a database! yes yes, alas, no comments. perhaps those will be implemented later.

while many things are still to come, eg, pagination, galleries, more photos and artwork, i believe this site finally lays the foundation for a stable home for both nixfox and my blogging going forward.

stay tuned for what's next!
