After building my first blog (innovabots.blogspot.com) during graduate school for a robotics project, I am now finally starting a site with my own domain using WordPress. I chose HostGator to host the site because it advertised tools to install and integrate WordPress sites. Though I cannot say how it compares to other sites with similar capabilities, I have been satisfied with HostGator’s service. I used their online technical chat support today to solve a cookies error with the site, and their support was responsive and better than most online chat support I have used over the years.
I am planning to use this site to share travel experiences like my annual National Park trips, advice as I learn various machine learning algorithms within and outside the OMS CS program at Georgia Tech, and hobby projects that I work over the years.
