Consolidate blog

I think this is a great idea. How were you thinking? I'd still like to use medium.

Medium is great but the site would get more traffic since the blog posts are all hosted in the same place.

It also allows for more customization like an email newsletter section at the bottom of every blog post.

We could also automate the sharing of blog posts and events so that anytime there is a new one created, it will take the updated RSS feed and can share to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

Users are also more likely to explore rest of Techqueria website since they are not leaving the site for Medium.

@fvcproductions @fvntr I recently heard about this site generator called Gatsby that's great for making starter blog if we decide to navigate away from Medium

@YourMobileGeek Hugo works great for this as well and we can bake it right in! 😄

@dvidsilva Would you be okay with us making this transition from Medium to self hosted on https://techqueria.org? What are your thoughts on this?

If it's cool, I think we should move forward with copying existing blog posts and transferring them to https://techqueria.org.
