I’m ready to launch a clean, fast personal blog and need a developer who can take it from blank repo to live site. The stack can stay lightweight—HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript on the front end, with PHP (or Java if you prefer) handling any server-side logic. We’ll work in VS Code so everything stays transparent and easy to review. Core requirement: a working comment section that lets readers leave, edit, and delete their own thoughts while protecting the site from spam. I’m open to adding extras such as social media hooks or a search bar later, but for this first milestone the focus is the blog itself and the comment workflow. Deliverables • Fully responsive blog template with home page, post page, and error page • Comment system (CRUD operations, basic moderation, spam filter or CAPTCHA) • Simple admin area for creating and editing posts • Clear read-me with setup steps and deployment instructions Push code to GitHub as you progress so I can follow along, and let’s keep communication active for quick feedback loops. If this first phase goes smoothly there’s more work ahead, but for now let’s ship a rock-solid personal blog.
