tl;dr - don't bother reading this.

So years ago I had read advice or a book or something about self-promotion and branding. I also had thought I was going to be a dedicated freelancer at the time, so through some creative exercises came up with the name Ocular-Rhythm. Nothing ever really came of it, but I just kept using the name because I thought it was cool.

Then I realized that Ocular-Rhythm just isn't synonymous with my name. I'm not a famous developer, nor do I strive or intend to be one. Point is, the name's a bit pointless to me now. I will keep it and don't plan on changing it out in places I use it, but will probably convert my logos etc to use my name instead.

The Site

The site is built with Gatsby and TypeScript with content being sourced from markdown files. I had originally built this site a year or two ago but then had switched it to WordPress for a short spell. Anyway, I'm back to Gatsby.

I had toyed with re-sourcing from WordPress using the REST API, and thought it would be cool to use WordPress as a headless CMS. After getting everything setup I decided I didn't want to keep pursuing that approach. Mainly because I did not want to import Gutenberg blocks and then have to set up all the CSS styles for various blocks, using the WordPress CSS class names.
