Why Did You Give Up Your Independent Blog?

Why Did You Give Up Your Independent Blog?

The main reason is laziness. Lazy update, lazy filing, lazy maintenance. Digital Marketing Agency But I didn't give up completely, because personal blogging still makes sense to me, and I didn't put much effort into it at first.

When it started, it was a wordpress blog, a web host. At that time, I also read an article about Zhihu, “How to build a personal website. “I thought it would be fun, so I came up with an idea, 'I'll give it a try' . I didn't know anything at the time. I'm kidding. I bought a domain name from Baidu, a web host (because it's cheaper than a server, and a one-click Wordpress build feature) , a few posts, and got started. I clearly remember, that time is the National Day holiday, I did not go home a person in the dormitory, the whole day trouble unceasing, really built up. But there was no intention to write articles, the site was a concern, not to give up.

Later, I learned about Linux, nginx, web, etc., and I had the idea of writing a blog in my mind. The domain name I bought had not yet expired. I bought a basic server directly from Alibaba Cloud, which is very cheap because it gives discounts to new people. Then is the installation and download, during the encounter of various problems, Baidu one by one to solve. After the blog was built, I went to research the theme, optimize the plugin, and have a lot of fun. I also wrote some articles, mostly for my own amusement. Didn‘t do much after graduation. It‘s getting old.

That's where we are now. The reason is that I read a research article on zhihu, “Why is it so hard to keep track of existing websites in China?”. Today, unlike in the past, I'm going to fill in my personal data in the Alibaba Cloud Case, information technology and so on, all of which can be so rigorous now. I looked at the domain Alibaba Cloud was buying (the domain name is updated annually) or the student wanted to play. But this time do not want to buy a server, because the price is expensive, but also through the record, foreign network speed is slow, experience learning is not good, I want to try other methods. Just being able to understand your side, static sites, faster than dynamic video sites, and they don't have servers, theme activity style is also my taste, I think it's good to make it try.

Hexo generates static web pages, so first it is hosted on github, which is good, but the access card is so bad that people doubt their lives, so they go to Gitee, and then hey hey, they give me a ban, which is really annoying.

It is a little difficult not to file a case, to get information as quickly and freely as possible. Luckily, I did find a way to use Alibaba's open source cloud computing software. Ali Cloud OSS is statically hosted and has some free credits, which is good enough for a small blog like mine with very little traffic. The most important thing is that you can use Hong Kong open source software without having to archive it, and you have a plug-in (this plug-in is problematic and always wrong) that you can use to push the generated static web pages directly from the command, simple and convenient. But then I discovered a serious problem. The strategic service system is paid for by use. Under normal circumstances, my small blog traffic is small, there is enough free credit, no extra money. However, if someone viciously brushes your traffic, it will directly result in a big thank you in your wallet. I closed my eyes and thought of something else.

Then I set my eyes on the hosting platform, trying to find a cheap, fast and reliable platform. As it happens, one of my QQ group users recommended us a cooperation package with a service provider. Six dollars a month, 100 data, 5g storage, fast access, and in Hong Kong. There's no need to record it. Although I have never heard of a service provider, it only costs six yuan. In the worst case, if you cheat, you cheat, and I have been using it until now.

I write a lot, purely because I can not sleep at night, in order to pass the time. I still don't update my blog much, but I don't want to give up. It makes me happy to write something on it once in a while.
