I was curious to see a notification on social media that Kyle Roderick had mentioned me. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it's because he took me up on the idea of "...write(*ing*) more because I think it'd be cool to read the thoughts you're having" from [my post on blogging back in December](https://chrisenns.com/2025/12/you-should-start-a-blog-now-or-later/).

From his initial post, appropriately titled [Hello World](https://kyle.pika.page/posts/hello-world?ref=chrisenns.com):

> After reading [Chris Enn’s post](https://chrisenns.com/2025/12/you-should-start-a-blog-now-or-later/) and making it a reminder in the Reminders app, I decided to take the plunge on a spot that could be mine online. Of course, infinity mulling over what technology, CMS, hosting, and theme to use became the next hurdle. I get stars in my eyes thinking about how much I might be able to do with it and how hosting it on something like Netlify is the “right” way to start a personal site for me. All the while, avoiding the actual point of the exercise: to have a place online that I can put things that are mine.  
> ...  
> So I decided to pivot and follow my friend Chris’s advice: Get something online.

That's how easy it is.
