I finally set up this site on WordPress. I made this site for Hack Club Stardance. I found this quite interesting, but I managed to do it in less than 2 hours! I designed the home page using CSS and HTML, and it’s open source at my GitHub: [code2344/Personal-Site](https://github.com/code2344/Personal-Site).

First, I started with my existing personal site. This was hosted initially on GitHub Pages, at [code2344.github.io/Personal-Site](https://code2344.github.io/Personal-Site), and was plain HTML and CSS, with an image of me. This took me only [59m](https://hackatime.hackclub.com/@SuperCode111/project/Personal+Site). I made it using Visual Studio Code as my IDE.

Next, I decided to put it on WordPress as I wanted a blog on there and did not want to do it with just PRs. This took me a couple of hours. I set up the MariaDB, and then installed and set up wordpress! It mostly worked out of the box, I just had to update config to make sure it was serving from the right domain. I still need to fix HTTPS but other than that it’s done. I’m now going to add a mailing list.
