My First Blog Post

This is the first post of my new Astro blog.

Written by: John Pitney

The full Astro logo.

Welcome to my new blog! I started out this blog by following a nice Astro blog tutorial. The blog content is stored in GitHub and published to CloudFlare Pages.

What I like

  1. Learning Astro: The blog tutorial was excellent. It covered all the things I wanted to see.

  2. Making Pages: Markdown is pretty nice. Having the whole blog site come together using frontmatter and Javascript is slick.

  3. Site Performance: So far, the blog site scores well on Chrome Lighthouse and feels fast.

What’s next

I will finish the Astro tutorial, and then keep adding more posts. Watch this space for more to come.
