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

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

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