Why I Built This Blog Into My Portfolio Site
A quick look at why this portfolio site includes a custom blog instead of relying only on static pages.

This is an example post for the custom blog system on NickolasPatino.com.
Why a custom blog?
I wanted the portfolio to show more than finished projects. A blog gives me a place to explain decisions, document build notes, and show how I think through web development problems.
What this demonstrates
- Custom PHP and MySQL development
- Admin tools and content management
- Practical writing about projects and process
