Old Technical Specifications
This website? Think Frankenstein’s monster of code, but way friendlier. At its core is the mighty WordPress, the open-source hero that keeps countless websites alive (and this one caffeinated). A ~$5 AWS Lightsail VPS keeps everything running smoothly. The site features a custom PHP theme, with modern block-based elements adding some flair.
While it’s been a loyal companion, I’m considering a complete rebuild soon.

Why dont you run ads on your webbsite?
btw i loved your html, css, js, express, nodejs and mongodb tutorial. Next time add comments to the blog-
I doubt that I will get much from it ads, but it could be a good way to generate some revenue… My main worry is that it could make look the website look spammy. In fairness most blogs do have ads… I could do an experiment for a month or two to see what happens.
I am glad to hear that you love the tutorials. There should be a comment section under each post, but not a global one for blogs. That’s something I could add when I re-design it one day
