My creative hideout is finally here! 🎉
In this post, I’d like to look back on my blogging journey
and share why I decided to build my new site with Astro.
I’ve also included a few nostalgic photos from my older blogs —
I hope you enjoy them!
My Blogging Journey
Over the years, I’ve tried a few different blogging platforms.
My very first blog was a simple doll blog.
It was easy to use and perfect for casually sharing my thoughts and photos.
Looking back at those old images now makes me smile —
even though my skills were still developing,
I was clearly having a lot of fun.
My WordPress Era
Next, I moved to WordPress for a figure-focused blog.
WordPress is powerful and flexible,
but for me, it started to feel… overwhelming.
Too many plugins, too many settings,
and too many things to think about 😅
I realized I was spending more time managing the site
than actually enjoying my hobby.
And Then… Astro 🚀
I had always been interested in static websites.
They’re fast, secure, and simple —
and that simplicity really appealed to me.
I didn’t want a place to manage.
I wanted a place to display my creations.
Plastic models, figures, dolls,
things I’ve built, things I’ve photographed —
I just wanted to line them up nicely and enjoy them.
That’s how I found Astro.
This time, I avoided themes and built everything myself.
I wanted to understand my site’s structure from the inside out.
And honestly?
It feels peaceful.
Now I know how everything works,
so I’m not afraid to tweak, expand, or experiment in the future.
It’s like building your own PC —
once you understand the parts,
you feel much more comfortable using and upgrading it.
I finally feel like I’ve created a quiet, personal space
just for my creativity.
🧑🚀🚀
Off to the stars!
