Yay fluid images

Image unrelated, but isn’t it a lovely day?

Fluid images in my posts, with added ![alt](uri "title") accepted syntax for the markdown content! This Hugo community post covers the details.

Amusingly, I’m doing this to make it easier to convert to another system. Other site generators know what to do with standard image markup, as opposed to my custom shortcode. The key for the Big Rewrite is to keep working on what you have now. That way the Big Rewrite isn’t quite so big.

Not sure which is better, the story or the photo. The story has a memorable hero, the photo has a memorable butt.

OTOH the story has bullets and I prefer to stay away from those, so I’m giving the pic my vote.

Enjoying Sabrina, particularly the character Dorian. The writers clearly work to give him Oscar Wilde-ish style and — well — bitchiness.

I appreciate that.
