Revisiting an old layout

I’m not saying it’s good. I’m not saying I’ll stick with it. I just wanted to pull solidly away from the utility-class CSS I was using for a while there. Got real hard to tweak.

So for the moment, a slightly tweaked layout I used regularly a couple years ago.

Finally got the neurons free to finish a couple personal code tasks now that job hunting isn’t front and center anymore.

Doing some blog cleanup and pondering how most SSGs are built around an assumption that you’ll get bored of your blog around 20-30 posts. Or maybe not so much the SSGs as the common blog templates.

We’re not even talking build speed here. More like information architecture changes needed when you go from “I should start a blog” to a multi-decade waltz of shamelessness with hundreds or thousands of posts.

“Page 4 of 78” doesn’t quite do it.

I’m not pondering a (edit: another) WordPress or Statamic revamp, you are!

That made no sense.

@socketwench Drupal has the “tweak every little thing” flexibility I’d want. Just — so much to learn!

@socketwench first question is: any hosting recommendations?

hackers.town: 2023-10-25 Wed 14:56

@socketwench thank you!

I’ll be keeping it in mind for sure. I’m pulled towards Statamic because I enjoy playing with Laravel, but I know Drupal can do, and probably already has done, anything I can think of.

that was more about double-checking my syndication script than any big weighty blog post

So glad there were no witnesses to tonight’s dinner preparation.

Well technically the dogs. They were more like accomplices really, helping clean up evidence.

Baked cheesy chicken with veggies. Thank goodness the veggies cooked down.
