Thanks for pointing that out, I'll definitely need link-able posts! Hopefully I don't have to redesign everything.
FYI, I'm just using Bootstrap and plain HTML/CSS/PHP with one or two JS functions.
Jekyll+Github looks like a pretty nice setup, although idk if it's worth the effort to change now.

Linkable posts are always useful. If you are worried about the effort. Please have a look at the one that I own. https://ranvir.xyz/blog/.
The basic version, https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now
I also use the basic CMS, https://siteleaf.com to manage it.

Okay, I think individual posts should be linkable now. Does https://timd.one/blog.php#pc-build work for you?
Your articles names are misleading (you were not building CPU, but PC) and it resonates more like newbie blog than a proper dev blog worth od ycombinator. Get more xps and try again. Also, are you asian?
Thanks, I have a horrible habit of saying CPU instead of PC since my brain thinks "ComPUter=CPU", even though I know the distinction.
You're right about it sounding like a newbie blog: there's no technical content (yet! I just wanted to get something up), and I've added explanatory stuff for things every real programmer should know. Instead of catering to everyone, I should choose an audience and write specifically for that.
I know nothing I have written will be front-page of HN, but you gotta start somewhere, and for me taking the inital step is the hardest.
I'm not Asian. What makes you ask?

hah - I had a high school teacher (~20 years ago - she taught the computer class) and she constantly called the entire box a 'cpu' too - a few of us gave her grief for it but it was all in good fun.
BTW I think your blog looks clean, good luck with it. Getting to the front page on HN isn't that hard, it's only a matter of time if you keep submitting.
Oh yeah - and definitely make separate pages for each blog post like rangerranvir mentioned - absolutely essential.

Glad I'm not the only one, I may have picked it up somewhere. And thanks for the encouragement!
Yeah, I didn't realize that at all until he pointed it out. I will definitely need a way to share a link to a specific post...

- WordPress - Blogger
or best for programmers.
- Jekyll https://jekyllrb.com/
and hosting it on GitHub pages.
Let me know if you need help setting it up.
