Last December, I tried creating a WordPress site on Digital Ocean. After setting it up, I was astounded that there were so many themes, and that there were whole industries that created sites and developed themes just for WordPress.
I learned that when you create a WordPress site, you had to make it secure so that people don't break in and take control of your server, like anything else on the internet. But then I saw in the logs that every minute people were randomly trying to log on to my account. The chances of them succeeding was low especially because I became concerned enough to add one of the available plugins for two-factor authentication.
It was all very cool, but I got busy and didn't pursue it any further.
Since then, I started hearing about static site generators. I eventually stumbled upon Docusaurus, and decided to go with this for now. I particularly like the sparse simplicity of writing in Markdown. I still want to try out Gatsby one of these days.
