3...2...1...Takeoff!

Hi there! My name is Richard III.

I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to check out my blog, Leiiid by Example. This first post marks the launch of my brand, L.E.III.D.

Loveless Engineering | Design | Development | Deployment

The first thing you'll notice about me is that I wear many hats. I'm a graduate student, aspiring software engineer, aspiring entrepreneur, gearhead, 3D-printing enthusiast, and musician. Without a doubt, I have obtained an unreasonably broad knowledge-base through personal endeavors, various hobbies I've explored, as well as academic studies. I want to translate these experiences into accessible information for the benefit of others, just like you.


New Blog Resolutions

In this blog, I aim to deliver quality content in a multitude of areas. I have outlined several goals I would like to accomplish:

  1. Get into the habit of writing on a somewhat consistent basis. (50 posts by the end of 2021)
  2. Showcase and track project progress.
  3. Write How To and DIY guides for topics involving software development, product design, and content creation.
  4. Deliver in-depth buying guides and reviews for both software and hardware related products.
  5. Document the lessons I learn as I navigate my way to becoming a small business owner by the end of 2021.
  6. Have fun along the way.

Where Do We Go From Here?

While I feel like there are thousands of ideas rattling around my head, I do have a few that come to mind, but no spoilers!...

Maybe one.

Together, you and I will transform this minimal site into a fully functioning blog! Our goal is to deliver an open-sourced individual blogging platform, with offerings and features similar to those of many top content management systems (CMS), and the best part, for free!.

If this seems too large or too difficult of a project to accomplish, I would like to offer two famous quotes in response:

"Challenge Accepted!"

- Barney Stinson | How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014)

"Rome was not built in one day."

- John Heywood | A Dialogue Conteinyng the Nomber in Effect of all the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue (c. 1538)


Challenge!

I challenge you to build a website (just like this one!) by following this tutorial to create your very own blog. Regardless of your coding experience, seasoned developer, or fresher, the guide provided by NextJS is easy to understand for all skill levels and will get you up to speed in no time!


Please check back for more content and to stay updated with the progress of the site!

Thanks again for reading!

- Richard III.
