The Ups and Downs of My First Year in WordPress Blogging
One year ago I launched my personal blogging website. Let’s review the results!
I started writing on Medium at the beginning of 2022. My goal was to create a collection of knowledge about topic from the software engineering area. Here I am roughly 2 years later with over 200 articles published and a backlog of around 40 ideas to be done.
In January of 2023, I decided that I needed a personal blog. Medium is good but the ongoing changes made me worry that maybe it’s not the best idea to only rely on this platform. So I created a WordPress blog, bought a domain and a hosting package, and my QuickCoder blog was online!
12 months later, it is time for a review.
What were my goals?
Did I reach them?
Was it worth the time?
