Today, I also mentioned that I hadn't done it for a while and would make a blog post on it whenever I next did it.

More on that later) and I was debating between making YouTube Shorts on the topic, or starting a blog. As you can tell, my choice was to start blogging. This is going to be an experiment until I get the hang of it; so please be patient with...
