I built it myself. Hope you like it!
Welcome to my brand new website - so new it's still got the new carpet smell and the paint is still wet. I may be a sex educator online, but the job I do Monday to Friday, and that actually pays me some money, is as a web developer. Over the last few weeks I've been learning a new system and solving new problems which will help in my professional career as well as my personal projects - because there's always something new to learn in web development.
I built this website partly as a place where I can write blog posts, not only about sex education, but as an outlet for things that don't always fit on my YouTube channel. I was a regular blogger when I was a student (that blog is so old it's actually been completely wiped from the Internet) but the approximately 5 people who read my posts didn't miss it when I stopped.
A blog allows for much more nuance than social media - particularly Twitter - and time to form an argument and present evidence. It's different from video because you can go into (sometimes unnecessary) detail because the reader can skip over it easily if they want. It's also simpler to produce than video as it just requires some time to write it, a bit of editing here and there, and you can even add to it after publication. Videos take time to plan, film, edit, and publish, and once it's out there that's it unless you do a re-record and replace it in its entirity.
This website will also be home to things like giveaways, and signing up to my regular newsletter which I'm launching ... more info in another blog post ... and provide a shop front for all my content. I can also add new things over time, if I can think of anything! I think the paint is almost dry now, so I think I'll leave this blog post here.
Do let me know if you like the website, and thanks for dropping by.
