Eric Hotinger's Blog

This is the source code for my blog, which is hosted at: https://ehotinger.com/

These are the markdown files that use Hugo, and the rendered version is at: https://github.com/ehotinger/ehotinger.github.io

Check out these blog posts for how the architecture works end-to-end. The only thing that I pay for is the DNS, and the rest is free!
