+
+This blog has migrated from Quartz to Zola. The previous version was feature-rich with backlinks, graph views, and Obsidian integration. This new version prioritizes simplicity.
+
+## Why the Change?
+
+Quartz is excellent for digital gardens and interconnected notes. However, for a straightforward blog, it carries unnecessary complexity. Zola offers:
+
+- **Fast builds**: Written in Rust, compilation is nearly instant
+- **Simple structure**: Plain markdown files with TOML frontmatter
+- **No JavaScript dependency**: Static HTML output
+- **Nix-friendly**: Single binary, easy to include in flake
+
+## What to Expect
+
+The content focus remains the same:
+
+- Machine learning techniques
+- AI systems and infrastructure
+- Conference paper summaries
+- Occasional homelab notes
+
+The design is intentionally minimal. No fancy features, just words on a page.
