Hello all

1. Miguel de Luis (luis.miguelde (a) gmail.com)

I literally read about Gemini and gopher last week and got hooked. In the
past I have struggled with all the bloated nonsense of WordPress when all
you want to do is to have your own wee place. It is so hard to have your
small site.
The whole system of complicated templates and SEO plugins made me forget
why I wanted to blog in the first place
Anyway, just set up my first liitle phlog and I am loving it. Surfing the
gropher space has replaced quite a bit of my youTube time.
I am looking towards starting something on Gemini too yet I am not too
sure  wether I should do it on my own VPN server or what. I literally set
up my first www and gopher server last weekend and Im not confident at
installing from source.

So any advice or tips would be quitr welcomed ?

This is Miguel from Canary Islands, Spain

If you already have a gopher server, then it should be easy to set up a 
gemini server on the same box. I would recommend solderpunk's Unsinkable 
Molly Brown. It is written in Go, so it is pretty easy to build. If you 
are unable to build it yourself, Go statically links its binaries, so 
you could perhaps ask someone to email you the binary.

Feel free to email me directly if you have trouble.
