About

I’ve had my own personal website for years (probably around ‘99 really!) but have never really done anything much with it apart from publish the (very infrequent) blog post and hosting a bunch of photo albums for the world to see (although they’re no longer online).

I used to have a strange self built custom CMS (in PHP and MySQL) which powered the site but that soon became a real headache to look after. A few years back I heard about an opensource CMS called Drupal and thought that would be a good way to go. I installed it, chose a theme and didn’t do much with it. Then I installed some photo album software called Gallery, upgraded it, and moved the site up from Drupal 4 to 5 and then from 5 to 6, and more recently from 6 to 8 now Drupal 10. But this site is an experiment with Publii to see how easy it is to use and publish a Static HTML site.
