It's been awhile since I wrote on this blog. I'm currently working on a possible rebuild of my landing page found at dinobansigan.com. That website is a static website generated using Wyam. I'm thinking of rebuilding it using ASP.NET Razor Pages.

I thought about rebuilding it using ReactJS. But for a mostly read-only website, using React seems overkill. Same goes for using ASP.NET Core MVC; it is overkill for such a simple website. Thought about using Blazor, but I do not need this website to be an SPA. So, ASP.NET Razor Pages seems like the perfect choice for what I want to do.

I only started working on this like 30 minutes ago. Here's what I have so far.

After I'm satisfied with the content on the pages, I'll move on to modifying the look/theme of the website. Then will need to figure out where to host it.

Part of the reason I stuck with a static website build, is because I can host it for free on Netlify. However, I've been wanting to see what it takes to host an ASP.NET website outside of Azure. Now is my chance to learn how to make that work.

A number of people have been asking me about why the WriteAs Archive Page generators I made no longer work. They no longer work because of CORS restrictions on the API server. I'm trying to see if I can work around the restrictions on my Blazor WASM apps by going the Web API route.
