Why am I moving my blog to GitHub! -- Again.

Reason #1: I want to be able to write blogs even when I don’t have an internet connection
- Git solves this problem.“Most operations in Git only need local files and resources to operate…”
I actually already attempted last year to transfer my blog to GitHub but I have choosen not to use it this time because it has a weird name (just like my current blog – refer to reason #4 below); and a friend of mine, Joash Tubaga, suggested that using “jboy” for a name sounds childish; I should be using my real name. And I was convinced.
Reason #2: I want to be able to use emojis in my blog
Reason #3: Writing code on GitHub flavored Markdown is simpler
- JavaScript code
function test() { console.log("test"); }
- C# code
using System; public class Circle : Shape { private double radius; public Circle(double radius) { this.radius = radius; } public double Radius { get { return this.radius;} set { this.radius = value;} } override public double ComputeArea() { return Math.PI * Math.Pow(radius, 2); } }
Reason #4: My current blog has a weird name
-
jboyflaga2.blogspot.com. Yes! With a “2” at the end. It sounds unprofessional.
You want to know the reason why there is a “2” in there?? It is because the one without the “2” is already taken. I believe I was the one who made that blog years ago but I already deleted the google account assoiciated with it. But even if I did not delete it, I already forgot the password.
But my first blog, jeremiahflaga.blogspot.com, already uses my real name… only that reasons #1, #2, & #3 prevents me from using it also.
(I also attempted to create a blog named teacherjboy.blogspot.com, but its name sounds very controversial.I cannot continue using it.)
