Hello world

My first post & why I started this blog

Welcome to my blog! This first post gives a basic overview of what this website is about, and why I started it.

Paul’s Particles

This is a personal website containing everything I want to share with the world. It is my aim to break these topics down to their fundamentals. In doing so, this website can become a repository of neatly contained packages (particles, if you will) of my knowledge and experience. I try to be as honest as possible in my writing, as this is the most insightful for both me and you.

Why did I create this blog?

I created this blog as a way to document and share my ideas with the world. Building (and perpetually improving) this website gave me good practice with HTML, CSS and JavaScript as well. I’m also a strong believer in showing your work and learning in public.

Why you should blog as well

Here are some of the best reasons to blog I can think off.

  • It’s fun to create and write things other people will might see.
  • It can help you organise your thoughts and ideas.
  • Other people can learn from your experience.
  • It helps you become more findable online.
  • It’s a place to establish your expertise and authority on a subject.
  • It’s good practice for both your writing and your coding.


To help with the daunting task of starting a blog, I will write some posts about how I created this website in the future, so stay posted.

Signing off, have a lovely day!
