Blog Updates Series

If you look at the end of this post, you’ll see that I now have something new on my site. I can now assign a blog post to a series, and it will put a series map at the end of the post. It really just uses something similar to tags to do this, but it will allow me to create groups of posts that were written in series about a certain topic. In this case, it will be Blog Updates.

Have I Made The Perfect Blog?

The answer is no, but goodness does this look good? Now a few days ago, I talked about the themes that I added to the site. You can still see them if you’re on desktop, there’s a little menu in the lower right side. My favorite so far has been ayu, but they’re all pretty damn good. What’s your favorite?

With that customization done, though, there were a few sore spots. First, I wanted to make sure that the scroll barmatched the theme. Now it does. Even on mobile, you get a nice colored scrollbar. It should work in all browsers, even, so job done. It looks amazing, and I’m more than a little proud of it.

Look At The Pretty Colors

Yesterday I talked about some of the things I’ve done on the blog. Well, today, I’ve been under the weather a little, so I decided to go ahead and tweak my blog some more.

If you’re on desktop (i.e. not on mobile), look down at the lower right hand corner. See the theme name? Click that. Change to one of the provided themes and BAM! You get a new theme on my site. Honestly, the hardest part was adding in all the hex codes. The JS was fine, really just a redo of my light theme switcher. I did finally make all my css colors variables, so it will be easy to add more themes in the future, should I choose to.

Fixing RSS In Hugo

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’ve become a bit obsessed with this blog. I haven’t had this much fun since I switched to Linux in 2017. From the writing to learning new things about Hugo, it has been a blast.

First I added comments, then I added comment counts. That was fun. These last couple of days I’ve been messing around with file structure (Hugo calls it taxonomy), and the RSS feed. I’m actually writing this post to test out my RSS feed changes as well as test some additions to the script I talked about the other day.
