A Little About TheRobExperiment
This website initially got started when I gained some interest in using Ghost v3 back in 2019 as a new personal blog medium but did not have any specific goals on what the site should be, to help drive forward this personal build project.
On the side, I also realized that I do love to find new mini-projects to tinkle and experiment with along the way, but often do not have the habit of documenting my work or the journey, which may be useful for my future self or even for someone who needs it some time down the road.
Somehow, these two thoughts came into my mind and I thought "Why Not?"
Honestly, the journey was pretty tough as I sought to design my own personalized Ghost theme and gradually realized that HandlebarsJS is definitely not my preferred cup of tea! I remembered starting and stopping a few times rethinking whether it was worth the effort.
Gradually, the build did come to a significant halt in time in 2021 when my build got stuck somewhere between v4 and v5, realizing the update to a new personal favorite CSS-Framework named TailwindCSS, just took up too much time that I made a hard stop for roughly a full year.
Subsequently, having a new rekindled spirit here Today in October 2022, I guess this lightly-refreshed TheRobExperiment v6 will do just fine for me! Now, I'm looking forward to actually making that habit to keep writing moving forward! ;)
For those who have read thus far, I sincerely Thank You for your time and hope that my posts can bring some knowledge and wisdom to you in due time! Cheers! 😇
UPDATE: 2024-FEB
New year. New changes. Welcome to TheRobExperiment v8!
Hit some technical build hurdles that overwhelmed me throughout 2022-2023, which led me to not write anything for any blog entries.
Finally, it hit me that I was probably just trying to juggle many sub-sites and not focusing on anything at all... 😔
Managed to get some enlightenment on the matter and decided to fold and merge AdultingStuffz.com under TheRobExperiment.com in Feb 2024 to simplify and trim away the need to constantly update technical builds, and just re-attempt to focus time on just writing new content.
So Now... After a good 3-week revamp, lies the updated logo, as well as the fully-rebuilt Ghost Theme (Running Ghost v5) for 2024 and beyond! Looking forward to really publishing some useful content that can serve as a useful reference source for my loved ones as well as others like me!
Cheers! 🥳
