Greetings, everyone.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon shuttle swiftly. Now, having established this humble abode for two years, on this joyous day, I write this article to express my thoughts and share them with you for mutual encouragement.
Beginning#
A blog, I understand the literal meaning as: "sharing joys with the public." With the help of Wikipedia, Baidu Baike, and others, we can quickly grasp its meaning, but it's still not that simple. You will find that all blogs have the central content of the blogger's articles, and they are long articles. This is the biggest difference between blogs and platforms like Sina Weibo, WeChat Moments, and other "microblogs". Two years ago, I made my first submission to GitHub for the blog. Initially, I saw it as a tool to practice Chinese, so I directly placed it on GitHub Pages; but now, I lean more towards treating it as my "cyber diary" to record my life and share my achievements.
Journey#
In these two years, I became a member of the Ten-Year Covenant, joined the KaiWang team, and tried my best to contribute to the open-source community.
I have met many bloggers, and I saw a new junior high school student who had his blog built on Fanke at the age of ten, just like Lin Lin once did. It seems like I have traveled back to the millennium before and after that I never experienced, witnessing the "variety of personal blogs". However, the requirement in most provinces in China that the person in charge of a website must be at least 18 years old sometimes makes me ponder whether "Chinese minors are not worthy of building websites" and whether the requirements for website filing in China are too strict.
Challenges#
Personal blogs will inevitably face two "challenges": speed and traffic. Taking two examples, Yun Youjun solved the problem of page loading speed by using domestic CDNs and developing Valaxy using Vue.js and Vite.js as a framework; Sukaka refactored his blog using Next.js and hosted static files on Cloudflare Workers Site, and made many optimizations. Yun Youjun and Sukaka, as members of the Element Plus team and core developers of Hexo, respectively, have a large number of technical articles on their blogs, coupled with high-quality content, naturally attracting considerable traffic; their personal works (such as small air conditioners, themes, etc.) also help drive traffic to their personal blogs to some extent.
Conclusion#
I don't have any skills, so naturally, I can't write any technical articles. I use the blog as a diary, and that's one of the reasons. With eight years left, what thoughts will the future me have when looking back at everything I've written?
May we encourage each other.
