I've decided that after some neglect that id put some energy into the blog, and hence here it is.

I've updated it to the latest major version of Ghost, 5 at the time of writing, although sadly that has bought with it a migration from SQLite to MySQL. Since Oracle took over MySQL, i've leant more towards Postgres or MariaDB for my database needs, but Ghost seems to firmly required MySQL 8 and getting it to integrate properly with others would require more tinkering than I can be bothered with at the moment.

Instead, after updating and migrating I put some energy into customising the theme. I'd been using a theme called weblog which I'd tweaked slightly, but this time I decided to make some deeper, more invasive alterations the result of which you see before you. I've still got some fine tuning to do, but overall the layout and styling is more to my personal tastes whilst maintaining speed and simplicity.

I'm going to be putting some energy into some more personal projects, and am committed to reports here more about my progress and learnings.

Watch this space I guess...
