This is a sandbox repo for developing a GitHub Pages portfolio. I'll be testing some things out with a more modern approach...

DNS

To set up GitHub Pages with a custom domain from Namecheap, adjust the DNS settings to include the following records:

Type Host Value TTL
A @ 185.199.108.153 Auto
A @ 185.199.109.153 Auto
A @ 185.199.110.153 Auto
A @ 185.199.111.153 Auto
AAAA @ 2606:50c0:8000::153 Auto
AAAA @ 2606:50c0:8001::153 Auto
AAAA @ 2606:50c0:8002::153 Auto
AAAA @ 2606:50c0:8003::153 Auto
CNAME www cheehieu.github.io. Auto
TXT @ zoho-verification=...zmverify.zoho.com Auto
TXT @ v=spf1 include:zoho.com ~all Auto
TXT zmail._domainkey v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=... Auto

For a free email account using the custom domain with Zoho, adjust the mail settings to "Custom MX" and add the following records:

Type Host Value TTL
MX @ mx.zoho.com 10 Auto
MX @ mx2.zoho.com 20 Auto
MX @ mx3.zoho.com 50 Auto

Web Presence

Part of the reason I wanted to migrate away from NiftyHedgehog was because I didn't control some of the other "NiftyHedgehog" accounts in the wild. And those contents didn't align with my personal brand. So I chose a domain with very little competition. And then created matching accounts on various platforms to prevent others from doing so. Here are some of the accounts:
