-The source code for my personal blog.
+This repository contains the source code for [my blog](https://www.roosens.me).
+
+## How
+
+I use the popular open-source static site generator [hugo](https://gohugo.io/),
+using a lovely theme called
+[Notepadium](https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-notepadium/). I picked this theme
+because I like the way it looks, but also because it markets itself as being
+100% JavaScript-free. As I'm a big advocate of unbloating the web, this spoke
+to me.  A blog shouldn't need any JavaScript, besides maybe a comment section.
+Furthermore, it's licensed under the MIT license, making it compatible with
+this site.
+
+## Why
+
+My brain often explodes with ideas for self-hosting new services, starting a
+new project or improving upon a previous one. That's why a lot of my
+self-hosting infrastructure has been centered around making this process of
+thinking of ideas and realizing them more straightforward. The goal of this
+blog is to share the things I've learning along the way, so hopefully, that one
+person that finds this blog won't have to struggle as much as I do.
