# 🚀 Blog - Powered by Pelican & Python 🐍
## 📰 About the Blog
Welcome to **Sachin Arora's Blog**, where Python meets philosophy, tech tangles with humor, and OpenAI tries (and fails) to predict my next move!
This blog is generated with **Pelican**, because static sites are the new black, and who needs databases when Markdown can rule the world?
---
## 📌 Summary
| Step | Command |
|------|---------|
| 1️⃣ **Create a blog post** | `nano content/my-new-blog.md` |
| 2️⃣ **Generate site** | `pelican content` |
| 3️⃣ **Push to GitHub** | `git add . && git commit -m "New blog post" && git push origin main` |
| 4️⃣ **Deploy to GitHub Pages** | `make github` |
| 5️⃣ **View live blog** | [https://sachnaror.github.io/](https://sachnaror.github.io/) |

## 🎯 Features
✅ **Built with Python & Pelican** – Because Django felt like overkill for a blog.
✅ **Fast & Static** – Like my patience for JavaScript-heavy blogs.
✅ **Markdown-Powered** – Because WYSIWYG editors are for *mortals*.
✅ **Customizable Themes** – Because default themes are *so last decade*.
✅ **Hosted on GitHub Pages** – Free hosting because I’m *fiscally responsible*.
