Starting a blog for the workshop

Why I'm putting my public build work behind a single canonical home, and how this site is put together.

TL;DR — New personal blog on Astro + Cloudflare Pages, MDX for content, Sanity CMS wiring next. Built to be the canonical home for my public build work — AI agents, edge infra, WorkIQ, MSP tooling.

For a while my public build work has been scattered across GitHub READMEs, subdomain deploys, and half-finished SelfIQ drafts. This site is where it consolidates.

What lives here

How it's built

Standard house stack, minus the API tier:

The whole thing will move into a WorkIQ skill once I've refactored the packaging so the same scaffold can be used for other author-owned public sites (client dossiers, project microsites, docs).

What to expect

Cadence will be irregular — posts drop when something's worth writing about, not on a calendar. Feed's at /rss.xml. AI-friendly index at /llms.txt.
