Hello, World (Again)

Welcome to the rebuilt shafquatarefeen.com. The old WordPress site served me well, but I wanted something that matches how I actually work: plain Markdown files in a folder.

How this blog works

Every post on this site is a single .md file. To publish, I drop a file into the posts/ folder on the server. That's it — no database, no admin panel, no plugins to update.

Each post starts with a small front-matter block:

---
title: My Post Title
date: 2026-08-20
description: Shown on the blog index.
tags: data, visualization
---

Regular **Markdown** goes here.

Visualizations, too

Because posts allow embedded HTML, I can drop in fully interactive charts with Plotly or Chart.js — see the demo post for a working example.

More writing on data engineering, attribution, and visualization coming soon.
