Preface#
I still remember the first time I used hexo as my first blog experience. The hexo community provides a lot of themes and plugins, and there are many different effects. I often spend a long time trying to get a theme, forgetting the original intention of building a blog. Finally, after learning Vue, I decided to write my own blog. As follows:
This is also my first Vue project. It adopts a front-end and back-end separation. I used Django for the back-end, but the front-end and back-end separation model is not suitable for websites like blogs. However, I want my blog to be beneficial for SEO. As a single-page application (SPA), it is not easy to achieve this. Later, I learned a lot and learned some methods. For example, I can use Django to write it and adopt a non-separated front-end and back-end model, with content rendered on the server side. Or I can use Nuxt. But this undoubtedly increases the learning cost, and my requirement is just to write a blog. It seems that my requirement is very simple, but I forget the original intention while pursuing various functions. Isn't this the current situation of most people in our contemporary society? (❁´◡`❁).
Later, by chance, I accidentally found a master's blog, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I just thought it was amazing. Why did this blog appear like this?
I didn't pay attention at that time, I just thought this master is so amazing. Why does the blog have something to do with blockchain? Until later, when I was browsing GitHub, I accidentally discovered xlog. I looked at several people's blog pages and found that it allows you to have your own blog conveniently and quickly. Of course, this is also my first contact with blockchain-related things. Before this, I was limited to understanding, and I never thought about the relationship between blockchain, virtual currency, and blogs. 👀 This suddenly sparked my interest, so I migrated my previous blog to xlog. 😍😍😍
Finally, it is about convenience and security. Compared to renting a domain server, building a website, setting up an image bed, and purchasing CDN, you don't have to worry about these when using xlog. Because on xlog, all data, including configuration, articles, subscriptions, comments, etc., are signed and securely stored on the blockchain by you. Only you hold the private key can control and access them. No one, including xLog, can make any changes, and you don't have to worry about security issues. Love it, love it.
About the Community#
After using it for a few days, I found that the xlog community is very active, with various types of blogs. Everyone's enthusiasm is high, which cannot be fully experienced on my own independent blog. In the end, it is also the issue I am most worried about. I don't know how long xlog can persist, but of course, I hope it will always be there and get better and better.
