  1. Original Site
  2. -------------
  3. Jrtechs initially started as a static HTML site that I created early 2014 to
  4. build my HTML skills. I initially chose the name Jrtech, but that name was taken
  5. so later changed it to Jrtechs. My old computer running ubuntu 12.04 hosted this
  6. website. This website went though a lot of revisions as I learned more HTML/CSS.
  7. When every you opened the webpage, the images slowly appeared since I was
  8. hosting it on a DSL connection. This website **never** got any *real* traffic
  9. since it mostly just hosted a few pictures of projects I was working on. My
  10. vision for this website was just to be a place where I hosted projects that I
  11. was working on.

  14. -----------------
  15. In 2015 I moved my website to the cloud and started a WordPress site. The
  16. website was focused on turorial like blog posts.

  21. Rebirth in Nodejs
  22. -----------------
  23. If you want to read about why I created a new content management system and left
  24. WordPress read
  25. [this](http://jrtechs.net/web-development/why-i-stopped-using-wordpress)
  26. article. The short version of that article is that I was tired of the simplicity
  27. of WordPress and wanted to learn Nodejs which is a robust JavaScript framework.
