Bank holiday
It’s a bank holiday here today in the UK, so it was nice and quiet – a good chance to focus on developing this course outline.
Updates
Short-form posts about what I’m currently working on and how I’m going about it.
Déjà Vu
I’m repeating myself, but that’s how it is when you’re making sense of things.
Resilient research
Now in the research phase, where I try and figure out how best to structure this course. I don’t have the answer yet, maybe the name holds a clue?
Micro Steps
I ditched Mailchimp in favour of Buttondown for the email list – hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a bad decision
Get something live

More of a thing
I designed a simple color palette and logo mark to bring this course to life.
Practical Hugo
Clarifying things, picking a domain name and moving the course I’m working on to it’s own home on the web.
Course utility
I spent the morning thinking about how best to structure this course. To get the ball rolling a had a poke around in some of the courses I’ve taken recently.
Related updates
