Content is king actually that keeps the site going. Even if you have a personal site and only users are 10 bots and 20 random users.
First website I had made is in 2007 it was full flash site. It was pretty much decent and hosted it on bravehost. After hosting it, I was done, didn't do anything much. Ten years later 2017 I upgraded my site it was full handmade with css and it had lots of things planned but again after 5 posts didn't touch much.
After that still my thought was making the site more attractive and I had ideas for posts/articles. I was collecting stuffs

Looked into SSGs, picked Gatsby for speed they had some starter templates, picked the one from LekoArts started using it.
I had read fantastic blog posts from certain people from HackerNews but they had only one or two posts with the depth they had in their posts, I wish they had written more.
Looking at all of that consistency is the key. Here I have noted down the steps on how I did it and I follow it to add posts mostly once a month.

What I use to make this site
1. Content in markdown(MDX)
2. Using firebase for hosting
3. GitHub as version control.
