Notes

As this project is still a work in progress, there are a few things that will need to be updated to match your personal use, as they aren't a part of the CMS.

1. The header and footer are hardcoded with my name
2. The 500 error page has a hardcoded social link
3. The about page has my social links hardcoded
4. The static images are all specifically relevant to me and should be replaced. Ideally file upload and/or image CDNs would be used.
