Embracing the Evolution: Blogging in 2024

As we bid farewell to 2023 and step into the realm of 2024, it marks a pivotal moment for my blogging journey. For the past five years, I’ve chronicled my career and the predominantly on-premises landscape at https://hypervlab.co.uk. This platform witnessed my experiences deploying Windows Server, Hyper-V, Linux, and delving into the realms of Containers and Gaming.

However, a significant shift occurred in September 2021 when I transitioned entirely to the Cloud, sailing under the Microsoft Azure flag. This transformation prompted suggestions to initiate a new blog that reflects this evolving landscape. Hence, I’m thrilled to welcome you to the Built With Caffeine Blog!

Fear not, the previous blog remains accessible for those seeking insights into the on-premises era. Nevertheless, no further updates will be made beyond December 31, 2023. All future content will find its home on “Blog 2.0” under the Built With Caffeine brand.

Now, you might wonder, what powers Blog 2.0? The answer is straightforward: Hugo and Azure Static Web Apps. In November 2023, I shared insights during a talk at the “Azure Community Enthusiasts” User Group, covering the fundamentals of getting started with blogging. Curious about the talk? You can catch it on YouTube here and find a step-by-step guide in markdown format here.
