+# towerofnix's Blog Site
+
+Welcome to the site! I use this place to [ramble](archive/text.html) and
+[share stuff I've drawn](archive/art.html). Maybe some of it'll be interesting
+to someone.
+
+## FAQ
+
+**I want to contact you or comment on one of your posts but have no idea how.**
+Sending me a tweet [@towerofnix][twitter], a post on [mastodon][masto], or
+[an email][guess] is probably the best way right now.
+
+**towerofnix is really hard to pronounce and write and say. Any other names??**
+You might want to stick to towerofnix if you're specifically talking about,
+e.g., my blog, my YouTube channel, or whatever. That's the username I've taken
+for myself, and it's what people can search to find me. But if you're talking
+about me, as a person, please use Florrie. (If you're curious, there's a whole
+blog post on this topic [here][usernames-post]!)
+
+**What's this blog engine?**
+It's a completely custom, hand-made one. [Here's the source code][blog-source]
+if you want to use it or just play around with it.
+
+**What the eff is the standard text editor and why is it ed(1)?**
+Apparently, ed is useful because you can use it on just about any Unix system.
+(I think that's why the call it "standard".) So if you know how to use it,
+you'll never be without the ability to harness its amazing splendid powers.
+A little wikipediabird is telling me that ed was developed in 1969, which
+should be enough reason for *anybody* to learn it, but I've never actually
+used it myself. Oops.
+
+**How frequently asked are these questions?** Never. Ask me some questions,
+please? (Hint: see FAQ.)
