I'm almost ready to share this blog with the world. I just need a few tiny li'l details polished up.
I need to register a domain name.- I need to point the domain to where I'm hosting the blog.
- I need better headers featuring character sketches of Bethsi and Sharp, or maybe a WaiMin logo. Or both! Why take the easy route?
- Once everything is up and running, add an RSS feed.
- Why isn't the Author block working?
- Install site analytics.
- Add twitter link for promotion, not sharing. (I don't actually know what that means anymore.)
- Fix Facebook sharing widget.
- Tags appear at the bottom of each post, but wouldn't it be nice if tags were visible from the home page? All I have to do is edit the template's base.html tucked away in a secret location, then add the relevant plugin code. Easy! Will this give me what I want? Who knows? 🤷🏻♂️
- Header covers by tag doesn't work. Requiring me to manually specify a header graphic per blog post is silly.
- A favicon of Bethsi would be a nice touch.
- Why are some page headers shorter than others even if using the same graphic?
- Hook up your RSS with deliver.it
Can I set up rsync so that the blog automagically updates from my Mac to the web server? I thought I had already done it, but I deleted the file? Or I dreamed it? Do you dream about twiddling rsync scripts in a command shell? Apparently, I do. I'm starting to get worried. I'm never getting a girlfriend, am I?Abandoned. There are literally no docs on how to add rsync to the Pelican prefs, and I'm too muffin-headed to figure it out. Basically, I can't automate it, so I'll just type a one word macro and call it good. Also, still no girlfriend. I mean, are you reading all this? Can you blame her?I need to find a place to host my blog.I should probably have pages. I've already written an "About Me" page, but this template hides pages. This template is called "Clean Blog", but it's a bit too sparse for my tastes. Maybe I need a better template.What goes in the Menu? How do I put things in there? Can I put tags in there? Can I store snacks in there for later? I am rather hungry at the moment.
See? I'll have this site gorgeous in a jiffy!
