-You’ll find this post in your `_posts` directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `jekyll serve`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
-
-Jekyll requires blog post files to be named according to the following format:
-
-`YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP`
-
-Where `YEAR` is a four-digit number, `MONTH` and `DAY` are both two-digit numbers, and `MARKUP` is the file extension representing the format used in the file. After that, include the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
-
-Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:
-
-{% highlight ruby %}
-def print_hi(name)
-  puts "Hi, #{name}"
-end
-print_hi('Tom')
-#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
-{% endhighlight %}

+title: Welcome to my blog!

+
+Hello, I have decided to set up a blog on my website :)
+Basically, I will use this page to create more long-form posts to express various ideas and other things that I've found cool recently.
+
+### How does the website work?
+The frontend was all written by me in raw HTML/CSS. The little time marquee at the top of the page was my own idea, but I... *borrowed* the time formatting code from Stack Overflow.
+
+In terms of backend, the website uses [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com) and is being hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/mounderfod/website) using Vercel to deploy it.
+
+If anything is not working or you just want to contact me, see the [About page](/about).
