Why did you choose to build from scratch vs wordpress/squarespace/etc? This is neat
Instead, I decided to take a stab building a custom solution in rails. Had a blast doing it, and I learned a ton. Still very much a work-in-progress, but I take great pride in building the very features I've wanted for such a long time. Now, I could tailor these solutions in PHP for wordpress or something, but it's not my expertise.
