New technologies for a new blog

Creating a new Blog with Astro 🚀

Now that I’m working as a professional software developer at Backerkit, I decided that I needed a way to keep track of what I’m learning every day.

I’ve already deployed the website, and you know that because you’re on it! I used the domain sidquinsaat.com, which has been a dead Squarespace site for the past few years. It originally was meant to show off my portfolio of choral conducting videos!

Once I deployed to Vercel, I had to hook up from there to the domain managed by Squarespace. This was pretty easy on Vercel, as they gave me all of the necessary names and addresses that I plugged in on squarespace, to get everything hooked up. I had never done anything with DNS before, so it was a good way to be introduced. This article in particular was very helpful in explaining the big picture of how everything gets connected, including the anatomy of a website address.
