 ## Adding posts
 
+This site contains custom SSG blog generation functionality that I built myself. It converts Markdown
+into static HTML pages served under `/blog`. I decided to replace it with a fully standalone blog
+created with an actual static site generator to avoid NIH syndrome and decrease maintenance time.
+
+It may still serve as a useful reference for how to build a static blog in SvelteKit, for anyone interested.

 To add posts, create a directory in `/blog`. The top level subdirectories should be the year, but
 there's no hard rules on what the rest of the subdirectories will be. The blog will build itself
 based on the file structure in `/blog/[year]/**`, and posts will be located wherever there exists
