Basic Blog

A tiny working blog built from plain HTML files — no CMS, no build step. Read a few posts below, then scroll for how to make your own the same way.

How this blog is put together

Each post is its own HTML file. This index is just a list of links with dates. Shared styles come from the site CSS so every page looks related.

Build your own in an afternoon

1. Create a folder and an index.html with your blog name and an empty list.
2. Write one short post in its own file (title, date, a few paragraphs, link back home).
3. Add that post to the index list with the date showing.
4. Reuse one stylesheet so fonts, spacing, and links stay consistent.
5. Upload the folder to your host. Repeat: new file + one new list item.
