Notes from the workbench.

The full roadmap from when I shipped a blog on VuePress 1.x + GitHub + Netlify + Onamae.com in 2021. Four layers — local dev, repo, hosting, custom domain — sliced in a way that still maps onto today's Astro / Cloudflare Pages stack.
Steps for wiring an Onamae.com domain to Netlify by delegating the nameservers. Covers how DNS works, using Cloudflare DNS as an alternative, and tips for waiting out propagation — written through a 2026 lens.
The initial setup for wiring a GitHub repository up to Netlify and auto-deploying a static site for free. Walks through account creation, site setup, build configuration, two-factor auth, and the free-tier ceiling — with the original 2021 screenshots — assuming a VuePress site.
How I split the image directories, declared the favicon, and configured vuepress-plugin-sitemap and robots.txt when I built a personal blog on VuePress 1.x back in 2021 — kept alongside the original config.js and folder layout.
A note on the Markdown extensions I used when building a blog with VuePress 1.x in 2021 — embedded Vue components, named containers, and frontmatter — with a 2026 follow-up.
How I structured a blog with VuePress 1.x and @vuepress/plugin-blog 1.9 back in 2021 — directory layout and config.js settings, kept as an archive of how I made the call at the time.
