+# Technology
+
+Made with {{< icon icon="heart" color="red" >}} & [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/). I now use a self-hosted Gitea and NGINX instance.
+
+Previously built with [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com). Previously hosted by [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).

+# Static Sites
+
+I like static sites for much the same reasons as other people but in particular, that they are content first and very open to if not built around the idea that your content is in version control. The reason I've moved here rather than continuing to use Medium is that I want to control my content, even if exposure and interaction will be more difficult.

+These days I spend a lot more time faffing with build systems and the like but its all useful experience I suppose!
