+## what is this
+My name is Jocelyn, otherwise known as Joss, Josie or sleppo04. This is my blog.
+On here, I'll post my ramblings about programming and tech in general, music, video games
+and other things that I may or may not be qualified to talk about.
+
+Topics I want to cover include:
+
+* Programming (especially games, graphics)
+* Hardware hacking projects
+* Music discussion
+* Ramblings about movies and/or shows I enjoy
+* My perspective on the queer community 
+
+This list is non-exclusive. Once I get around to implementing it, my blog will have a tag/category system
+to classify blog posts for your (and my) convenience. Also, my blog posts have a *minimum length*, because
+this is not a micro blogging service. Due to this, blog posts can take quite some time to write.
+
+One last thing: As of now, my blog does _not_ feature a "last updated" time feature, but I will still update
+posts occasionally (for fixing mistakes and correcting things). If I need to make a bigger change I will annotate
+that in some way for transparency. If you want to see the whole editing history, you can check out the blog on my
+[git page](https://git.jossco.de).
+
+## why is this
+I wanted to have my own blog for quite some time now. When I started renting my own server
+sometime around October of 2023 I decided to take the opportunity, and did... nothing for over half a year. Yeah.
+Now it's already June, and after messing around with stuff I finally have a workflow I'm somewhat comfortable
+with... for  now.
+
+In case it's not already clear, this blog (and my site in general) is heavily inspired by the ever-awesome
+Fabien Sanglard and [his blog](https://fabiensanglard.net).
+
+## how is this
+Fine, thank you ^^ (blog talking here)
+
+All jokes aside: This blog is written in *Markdown*, and compiled to static HTML using a custom setup
+involving [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org). My setup is like that because I like having total control
+over the workflow, and because I have *unusual* requirements (for example: all my pages have to be **usable and
+completely functioning** even without the CSS applied). Also, 100% server side, no JavaScript at all.
+
+> Fun fact: My blog uses the same stylesheet as [my homepage](https://jossco.de), so style updates will be reflected on both pages. Neat!
+
+Static HTML pages have several advantages, like easy backup and relative independence from server architecture.
+Also, they are the optimal case for _HTTP caching_. Other advantages are left up as an exercise to the reader.
+
+I plan on moving the hosting setup to a Plan9 compatible solution (like [werc](https://werc.cat-v.org)) at some point.
+
+## when is this
+now
+
+## thank you...
+...for reading this introduction into the wonderful world that is my blog. Stay tuned for new entries! I don't have a schedule,
+and knowing myself I will probably take several months to get something new out...
+
+Until then,
+ 
+Jocelyn 🩷
