I came this close to moving my blog at baty.net back to Hugo. Even worse, I considered archiving all the content and starting fresh. I mean, completely fresh. No more dragging around years of images and posts that have been converted to and from several Markdown formats for various

I was tagged by Kev Quirk to complete a "Blog Questions Challenge", so here we go. The questions are: 1. Why did you start blogging in the first place? 2. What platform are you using to manage your blog and why did you choose it? 3. Have you

One of the things that frustrated me about Kirby last year was handling code/template changes vs content changes. I complained about it here. Ideally, since Kirby is a PHP CMS, I would do everything directly on the server. What I've done more often instead, is to run

Sometimes I just need to change things up in order to renew my interest. This blog has been languishing lately, so I decided to change themes again to see if that helped. Rather than deal with implementing a completely new theme, I instead rolled back to hugo-PaperMod. There is a

Today {#today} I'm still working through what goes into daily notes vs separate blog posts. My old rule was that anything longer than a short paragraph got its own post. Now, though, I think I prefer keeping things in the daily posts unless they need their own post.

I love Blot. It's just right. But you know how sometimes you just want everything on your own server where you can touch it? Where you have access to the server redirects and access logs and everything? That's what happened to me this weekend, so I&
