Creating this site
Plans and tools used in creating this site
I want a site to list ideas and thoughts. I’m not necessary interested in discussing these, but feel free to notify1 me it I’m wrong.2 I might also post my poems here, no guarantee for their quality. Lastly, it is a learning experience in HTML and CSS. Last time I used those it was XTML/HTML 4 and CSS without a number.
First plans
- SSL so that you can reach it by https://tormodh.net
- RSS to make keeping track of new and updated pages
- Need to think about how to organize first
- Authenticate myself on https://keybase.io/tormodh
- Structure
- Thoughts are thoughts and ideas I just want out there
- Should I have something more something for how-to posts?
- Projects are descriptions and lists of stuff to do, linking into thoughts and posts and external places.
- Now is summarized notes over each month.
- About is about.
- Colophon is just that.
- Poems?
- Style
- Added CSS with grids and grid area
- Added media things for smaller devices
- Erch, style. I’m not a designer
- CSS Cache is now updating in browser, since I did some light cache busting
- Tweaked cards on homepage to have metadata on bottom (flex)
- Increased font size to be more old person friendly so I can read it.
- Added a favicon - configurable UTF-8 emoji
- Home page that
- Says something about what this page is?
- Lists latest edited thoughts / posts
- Which I wrote about in Getting Last Modified Working in Hugo
- Current project, more projects
- Latest poem?
- Books I’m reading?
- Is looking ok-ish with semantic structure and some light CSS.
- Mastodon
- Verify myself for Mastodon with rel=“me” in a link
- Also set up WebFinger to make me findable as @me@tormodh.net
- Wrote a post about setting up mastodon redirect from your domain using hugo
- A Now page
- Set up a Now page
- with RSS on update.
- This should be a curated version of my private notes, updated at least monthly
- Update theme README + exampleSite with what is needed
- An About page
- Think about (heh) how to integrate this in the theme structure
- Analytics
- Wrote a post about using TelemetryDeck to track visitors
- Can also track using: GetInsights
- Or, as I’m doing now: Tinylytics
- Need to be GDPR compliant
- Preferably no cookies at all, and no personally identifiable bits of info
- Turn off or track differently in development mode
