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
    • Current project, more projects
    • Latest poem?
    • Books I’m reading?
    • Is looking ok-ish with semantic structure and some light CSS.
  • Mastodon
  • 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

  1. Links to my mastodon and keybase are just below. You’ll probably manage to guess other methods of contacting me as well. Be nice, please. ↩︎

  2. Please: Back your words with reliable sources or well thought out reasons. I won’t bother listening to blathering — but if I’m wrong I want to learn. ↩︎
