It's Alive!
I had the day off due to inclement weather, so I decided to do some stretching, and spend a little bit of time working on my website. After some initial confusion, I now have a roughly functional blog up and running atop Vapid, my CMS of choice.
EDIT: See this post for an update regarding the discontinuation of support for Vapid. As of 11/24/22, I am still using Vapid to run this website. Despite the lack of some features of comfort, it is a nice consolation to know that it's not going to suddenly change.
