I added a blog to my site. | cat.jpeg | placeholder | true |
So now I have a blog on my site. I don't really have any plans to post here regularly, but idk maybe that'll change in the future.
That's pretty much it as far as the non-technical side of things goes.
The Technical Side of Things
I haven't really written anything about how my site works before, so this is also going to contain some general information about the site as a whole.
zyl.gay is a static website built with a custom static site builder I built for it. It started by taking Markdown pages and rendering them on top of the appropriate template.
When I added the images section to the site I added the first abstraction on top of this: YAML files with the relevant metadata for the image (including a short but unstyled description) which then get rendered not only into pages for the individual pages, but also a paginated display for all the images and a method to view images by tag.
To get blogs working I modified the image page code to be generic over provided resource types, so really the images and the blog posts are rendered the same way, just with different configurations.
