I think you’ll like it Ashley (I love it!) I’m glad they bought back the purchase option (they went sub-only at one point). If you end up getting it let us know how yo get on with it.

Ah nice! I wouldn’t mind trying rock climbing one day - but not for anything crazy! Some of the climbs I’ve seen people do look really dangerous, eek!

Hi @ashleypeacock,

After watching your author spotlight, I’m almost convinced to move my website to Cloudflare since hosting a basic static website is free with Cloudflare Pages. My only hesitation is that I have limited technical skills. Do you think it’s a reasonable project for an English major with basic HMTL and CSS skills to use something like Hugo to build a new site and deploy it to Cloudflare?

Where Next?
