1. The most crucial piece is ownership of the domain name.

3. Iterate on it! Make it better, but more importantly—make it yours. Zach Leatherman 60 replies 639 likes470 reposts Original on MastodonToday, the good people of the world commemorate the passing of Google Reader eleven short years ago on July 1, 2013.

A full tutorial on how this site was made is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXcxvBJuULU
