I am a self taught developer currently residing in Connecticut. Currently my primary responsibilities are to be a stay at home dad. When I am not coding I enjoy skiing, rock climbing, backpacking, fishing, gravel & cross country cycling, trail running, and off-roading in my pickup. I am vegan chef and enjoy listening to Pat Metheny, Coldplay, and Shane & Shane. He/Him.

Last week I started reading a new book titled "Starship For Sale" by M.R. Forbes. I thought it would be a fun project to build a fan site around the book series. While I was designing the site I wanted to add a forum so that other fans of the book se...
I have been searching high and low for a comment solution for my latest site I Love To Fish. I had tried Disqus but I really did not want to pay $11 a month. So, I kept looking. Then one day I came across utterances. I was intrigued could there actua...
I have been in a bit of a coding slump lately. I have had them before but they lasted a week or so at the most, this one is different though as it has lasted over a month. Truth be told I have been a little distracted with some epic fishing, kayaking...
Yesterday (March 12th) marked my three year anniversary as a web developer. I started out with courses on Codecademy and freeCodeCamp(); and over the years I have learned quite a bit. It has been a fun journey and a hobby that got me through the pand...
There is quite a lot of information out there on how to setup a whole home Ad Blocker with Unifi and PiHole. So, I will not attempt to rewrite those tutorials. Rather I will focus on a few sticky points that I encountered and how I resolved them. Fo...
If you would like to backup your Hashnode blog the simplest way is to use the Hashnode backups found in your blogs dashboard. I have outlined the steps below to accomplish this.
First you will need to install the GitHub CLI
brew install gh
Then you will need to authenticate your GitHub account
gh auth login
I setup mine with GitHub.com.
Next you will need to create an empty repository for your backups
gh repo create hashnode-blog-backups
I set mine to private
Select y (for Yes) both times
Your repository
hashnode-blog-backups
is now up and running and ready to accept your backups!
For the last step you will need to navigate to the Hashnode dashboard and select Backup.
Click "Install Hashnode Backup".
You will now be taken to a GitHub page to install and authorize Hashnode.
Be sure to select only the repo hashnode-blog-backup you just created.
Click Install and Authorize
Now whenever you publish a blog post it will automatically backup to the GitHub repo you just created.
If you already have written and published a few blog posts before enabling backups then you will need to follow these steps.
1) From the Hashnode Blog Dashboard select Posts then Edit post.
2) Click Save Post (Note: You will need to do this for every post you have already written and published).
This will trigger the Hashnode tool and save the blog posts to the repo you created using the GitHub CLI.
GitHub's CLI is a very powerful tool. You can read up on it here
