From a default theme to a site that actually feels personal

This is not a skin swap. It is a rebuild that tries to put identity into structure and interface.

I no longer want a personal blog to be only a container that happens to publish posts.

This rebuild feels more like calibration: what deserves to stay visible, what interface elements are only noise, which publishing steps should remain lightweight, and which parts need far more care.

If a page is going to represent me for a long time, it should do at least three things well:

  1. The homepage should introduce me instead of only listing posts.
  2. The writing itself should stay readable and not be buried under visual tricks.
  3. Publishing should remain light enough that Markdown is still enough.

So the site is being rebuilt around a structure that can grow for a long time. The writing continues, but the way it is presented should finally feel more like me.
