# New Site Deployed: D@N Tech is Now Live!
I am excited to announce that my new Jekyll site, **d@n tech**, is officially live! This is a significant milestone for me, and I'm thrilled to share this journey with you.
## The Journey to Jekyll
Initially, I considered using WordPress for my website. WordPress is a powerful tool with a lot of flexibility, and it's great for many projects. However, for my specific needs, I found it to be somewhat bulky. I needed something streamlined, efficient, and more suited to a tech-centric site like mine.
That's when I turned to Jekyll. Jekyll is a static site generator that's perfect for developers who want to dive into code, customize their site extensively, and have a more hands-on approach to site management. It's lightweight, fast, and allows for greater control over the site's design and functionality.
## Why Jekyll?
There are several reasons why Jekyll stood out to me:
- **Simplicity and Speed**: Jekyll sites are static, which means they load faster and are simpler to host and manage.
- **Developer-Friendly**: As a developer, I appreciate being able to work directly with the code, and Jekyll is built for this kind of hands-on approach.
- **Customization**: With Jekyll, I have more freedom to customize my site exactly how I want it.
- **Community and Support**: The Jekyll community is vibrant and supportive, offering a wealth of plugins and themes.
## What's Next for D@N Tech?
The launch of d@n tech is just the beginning. This blog will serve as a chronicle of my journey in tech, a place where I can share updates, insights, and experiences.
- **Regular Updates**: Expect regular posts on projects I'm working on, new technologies I'm exploring, and general thoughts on the IT world.
- **Resource Sharing**: I'll be sharing resources and tips that I find useful in my professional journey.
- **Community Interaction**: I'm looking forward to engaging with the community, learning from others, and sharing my knowledge.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a part of this exciting journey!
