        <h2>Back To Jekyll</h2>

<p>I change my mind a lot!</p>

<p>There I said it but no in all seriousness though I decided, after much thought, to switch back over to Jekyll. The reason being that I felt that Wordpress, while a very good platform for bloggers/writers, wasn’t for me anymore. I wanted to get back to my roots as a web developer and actually blog with code. I mean using command line, git, and the like to power my blog. Plus I like the security of not having to log into my site via a web based login. Now the only login I have is that of my server.</p>

<p><img src="/assets/images/back-to-jekyll-image-1.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>There is just something serene of about running commands through a Powershell window and uploading everything to a repo. I can also choose how I want the site to look without any of the Wordpress code getting the way it just takes me back to a time of writing some code and uploading it to a server.</p>
