Welcome to my blog

This is a static blog powered by Cloudflare Pages. Every time I write a markdown file and run publish.py, it:

  1. Converts markdown to clean HTML with full SEO metadata
  2. Generates Open Graph tags for social sharing
  3. Adds Schema.org Article JSON-LD for Google rich results
  4. Builds sitemap.xml and rss.xml
  5. Regenerates the index page
  6. Pushes everything to GitHub
  7. Cloudflare Pages auto-deploys in ~30 seconds

Why Cloudflare Pages?

Feature WordPress Cloudflare Pages
Speed Depends on hosting + cache Edge network, instant
Cost $5-30/mo hosting Free
Security Plugin vulnerabilities Static = no attack surface
SEO Plugin-dependent Built into the template
Maintenance Updates, backups, DB None

Code Example

def publish(markdown_file: str) -> str:
    """One command to publish a post."""
    return "https://myblog.pages.dev/" + slugify(markdown_file)

That's it! No database, no WordPress, no 8-phase pipeline. Just write markdown and ship.
