A [not so] Quick Word
Hello, reader. I debated posting a short message on Twitter and Instagram about the current state of my blog, but I’m pretty long-winded and since the message I want to get across is about my blog, why not post it on my blog as content?

In summary, Weebly caused me so much frustration that it was a chore…
