Returning to the blogosphere

“An abstract image”

After 11 years of this site effectively being shelved and gathering virtual dust, I’ve finally returned to it and am making a start on producing content.

The main driver is that I wanted to start putting some content out to the world for the information security world. From my network of colleagues and like minded individuals I have learnt plenty over the years, time for me to provide some value - hopefully!

One particular topic that drove this change is to start doing write ups for online labs, specifically from the Blue Team Labs Online platform at this point. From there I want to post content to try and help those new to the industry of cyber security, or perhaps people moving along a career path where I might have insight.

My final reason was that this site was previously running on WordPress, like many other sites I have built and run over the years. As a platform it worked well for self hosting & delivering specific site requirements. However the dispute between Automattic & WP Engine spurred me to move away from that platform. As I post this site is now using Ghost CMS which was very easy to set up, but I’ll likely move to Hugo at some point in the future.
