First blog post: Website Stuff

[CJ Satnarine] | 2025-03-21

This is the first blog post I have made here, or any where for that matter. The entire purpose of this blog was to test out how it would be to write one.

In the beginning...

This website project started as a plain, unstyled HTML file that had a couple of changes occasionally.

The Head

The idea for the head came from a project I was working on (a tiny renderer), where a wireframe render inspired me to add a rotating wireframe furry wolf head to my personal website.

To accomplish this, I created a wolf head in Blender and exported it in a Wavefront .obj format. I used Three.js to render the wolf head on the website. This version of the website is where I also started using CSS.

I should note that this was the first time I was working with JavaScript and CSS, and if it wasn't for some amazing people guiding me and answering my questions, I would have probably not made it this far. To deploy this website, I used Vite.

Zola

I love using markdown. I prefer it over most other markup languages, and I write most of my notes in it. When I found out I could use markdown for web dev, I started to replace my previous website design to use Zola (mostly so I can get help from a friend that uses/recommended it). This took me about a week to do, somehow.

What next?

I plan on uploading more work onto here: projects, devlogs, art or animations, and more blogs.
