In the summer of 2016 my wife and I moved to Japan. We decided that we wanted to keep track of our time whilst in Japan so I set up a blog in WordPress.
The site uses an off the shelf theme which allows us to use our photos to fill the majority of the website. I’ve also installed a gallery plugin to handle photos within each post.
There has been no real need to add any customisation other than a 2FA plugin to help prevent the ridiculous amount of hacked logins to the site.
The website performs well with over 150 posts and 80 image galleries and climbing!
