Introduction

All beginnings are difficult. This sentence fits the start of a new chapter when the topic is “lets start a blog”. This is especially true if you have very high expectations of yourself and have made your hobby your profession or life’s work. Everything has to be perfect here. There are endless questions that you ask yourself and you want to have all of them answered before you start implementing them. But with this topic in particular, it is important to simply get started. And that’s exactly what’s happening now. Welcome world, hello tech blog from Kuebler-IT and the person(s) behind it.

Why have your own blog?

I have asked myself this question again and again in my career as an IT specialist or in colloquial language “nerd”. The first time I asked myself this question when blogging became a trend in the early 2000s and the first blog-compatible content management systems (CMS), such as WordPress were published. For those of you who are younger, that was before “Youtube” and after the “everyone has a cell phone” era. During this time I couldn’t answer the question conclusively for myself, because as a teenager it hadn’t even occurred to me to share the knowledge I had acquired.

How to create your own blog?

About a decade later, I was ready and realized why it makes sense to create a blog. The whole topic was triggered again because I met like-minded people in a new working environment who had already been running a blog for several years. In search of the perfect tool and layout, which of course was never found, I naturally wanted to do it myself. With my own hands. A new project idea started, a suitable blog software had to be written. Due to time constraints and other priorities, this has not realized until today.

When is it time for a blog?

Almost 10 years later, the thought and desire to create a blog comes back. Driven by the volatile world of the Internet, where information and knowledge are lost so quickly due to change. An article, a documentation or instructions that was published some time ago is suddenly no longer there. And this always happens exactly when you have almost forgotten the knowledge about a certain topic, but you need it again and still know exactly where to look to bring it back to mind. You could now say, okay, I’ll just use generative AI, which will lead me quickly to my goal. But what is that? The information that all these AIs have as a data basis comes from where? Right from the wide world of the internet. And right now, at the beginning of the age of Generative AI, it is particularly important to use this knowledge, which you have researched yourself and validated or tested through your own implementation, to put it back to the public in your own words. This way, the scraper bots can use this information to deliver even more accurate and better results themselves.
