A creator, coder, and writer taking a smart-alec swing at getting a job as a tech writer. What'll the recruiters say when they see my site?

Pushed one more quick update to get a smidge closer to that example site.
A screenshot of a basic astro blog. The top menu is a home/about option, then a header pic from the top blog post, blog date, description, a tag-cloud/tag listing area, and then recent posts listing.

OK, that's cool. I kinda like this company already.

One of those days where you really, really don't like how our whole job application/employee set up works. The job app let me in and then stops me after I filled out everything.

Wishlisted. There's a small typo in your top text: "where you use place simple.." Should be just use or just place, I believe?

I'm FINALLY putting up content for the site! The site isn't live yet, I need to fill out at least some of this content first but I am slowly making my way along. #webdev #web-dev #astro #coding

At some point I need to pretty-up the ReadMe.md I don't think that's today. And now is lunch-time. #webdev #coding
A picture of many git commits for a webdev project.
"Added youtube support
Added dynamic pages for projects
Added variables for blog & guides
Shortened it a bit
Added metadata
Implemented show hero image on blog
Edited a post in obsidian for testing"

Etc. There's a lot like that, fixed color theming, fixed this, fixed that. You get the idea, someone's been coding.

It's not my fault! It's a template I got for free! Support's there now tho! I gotta make one more tweak and it'll be ready. Site's not live yet, so caught it early.
Picture of a git-commit message.

Added variables for blog & guides.
Added alt-text, video, and enable/disable vars to Astro. Added to blog entry.

Excuse you BSky, I'M the one who breaks stuff around here. And I know I didn't break you. I think. No, no, I'm in the clear. But my site's logo is suddenly taking up the whole screen. I guess we'll both go fix things.

It has been a while since I've been coding away like this. The new site is almost ready to go live. It'll be empty, but it'll exist. I need to put in some portfolio/project items, then I can set up my CI/CD stuff for Cloudflare Pages and THEN I can start adding guides and blog posts. #webdev

Yes, there is a lot of broken code to post. Kind-of. I got a theme for Astro and I'm breaking things til' it looks like me. My apologies to the theme's creator, your site will never look the same, but I love it.
