+ <h2>Unemployment, CCNA and Other Things</h2>
+ <small class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 16 August 2025 | unemployment, ccna, school, WGU</small>
+ <p>It’s been a minute since the last time I updated my site. I blame it on moving servers recently and forgetting how to auto build
+jekyll sites using git’s post-recieve option. As I sit here and write this though I have seemingly fixed the issue because I was
+able to successfully build and push new content to my site.</p>
+
+<p>Over the course of the last two years (wow) though a lot has changed. I have continued to worked hard toward my bachalor’s degree
+through WGU. I’ve taken a severence off work which has allowed me the time to work on education and think on life. It also has
+given me a much needed rest.</p>
+
+<p>So, what about my study for my CCNA?</p>
+
+<p>That is a big cert to achieve. Since I started my study journey at WGU I knew I wanted to work specifically in IT as a Network
+Engineer or at least a Network Administrator. Well, I say since WGU, I knew I wanted to work in that field back in 2019 when I
+graduated from a local community college with my second Associate’s degree in Networking.</p>
+
+<p>Either way, this all comes to a head with me studying deeper with Cisco hardware and software. Getting deep with subnetting,
+OSPF, BGP, etc. Running commands to check Cisco router and switches interfaces like <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">sh ip int br</code>.</p>
+
+<p>If I had thought about it when I started my university journey I would have blogged my way through each course. Sadly, I didn’t
+though I will do my best from this point going forward to write a weekly-ish article here on what I studied that week. You see,
+I did recently take the CCNA already and failed. So, I’ve been trying to work on labbing more and study on weaker areas so I can
+attempt the exam again.</p>
+
+<p>Another reason I wanted to ensure my site was working as I’d like is because I’d like to get into posting things here instead
+of social media. I’ve grown a distrust to big tech and a love for helping the “small web” remain viable and fun. So, over the
+the coming weeks I’ll probably add small web things to this site. :)</p>
+
+<p>That’s about all I have to say now. Thank you for reading this short article and hope you’ll visit every so often to see
+what I’m working on!</p>
