do you know how to code? Looks pretty basic at the moment.

I know Python

[The Official Czex]

I know Python

 

Knows Python, but not HTML or CSS? Tsk, tsk.

[pagani123]

looks nice so far what do you plan to do with it

[_JohnB330ci]

Learn some HTML and CSS before attempting to code a website, just a small tip

Coding languages are not scripting or markup languages, note.

Python isn't gonna get you far for websites. You'll need some basic HTML and CSS knowledge, and some other languages depending on what you want to make. OR, use a program like Wix etc.

@Overkilled If you lived in the United States, why is the domain .co.uk?

[arnavvr]

I like the theme. It's very nice and clean looking. Great start, I think.

A little technical advice, for Wordpress development you are gonna want to know PHP (assuming you want to customize your theme at all or develop custom plugins). 

Thankfully PHP is not much different from Python (aside from a few syntactic differences), given both of them are heavily influenced by C.

Also, like others say, you'll want to look into HTML and CSS. Though, they are pretty simple to understand. They aren't programming languages so there's no logic or algorithmic challenges. Just use a good reference like Mozilla Developer Network or something.

Also, I am not sure what you meant by "forged through thousands of years of evolution." but it sounds kind of odd... (Electronic) Computers have only been around for less than a century.

I'd disagree with a lot of previous posters saying that you need to learn to code to build a good website. That, in my experience, just isn't true. Sure, if you want to build a website with tons of functionality that don't exist in Wordpress (since I saw that that's what you're using), it'd be great if you know the HTML/CSS/JS/PHP stack so you won't have to spend a ton of money on developers. But for the most part, seeing that all you really want is to just post build logs, you don't necessarily need to learn to code. However, it would be really great if you could study fundamentals of design, especially when it comes to user interface and experience (UI/UX), so that you can build a pleasant website for yourself. Otherwise, you can just grab a nice looking Wordpress theme, tweak it a bit with the Wordpress customizer feature, and all that's really left is to organize your content and start publishing.

It's not about building a good website, it's about building a good website from scratch and understanding completely how it does what it does. There's no fun in having it all done for you by an extended CMS platform.

Not really. It's only fun if you're into web development, not a content creator. As the latter, you'd probably want to focus on posting stuff instead of expending energy and time on the former.
