Colophon

Details, notes, updates, and acknowledgements that have brewed up in the last year or so thinking of redoing my personal website.

Technical

v4 (current version) of this website was made with Svelte; previously in v3, I used Hugo. I also took this opportunity to move to hosting on my Dell Optiplex 7060 SFF using Caddy.

Changes from v3

A number of the changes were made while constructing a website to track my daily lifts and ported over to Svelte. Perhaps my lifting website was the v3.5 of the website we never got.

• Better organization:
  • /colophon for details on the website, /contact for other links, /now page for what I’m up to now, /uses for software/hardware I use
  • /side-quests for notable interesting and likely non revenue generating things I’ve done; /side-quests/side-quest for any recurring theme I’d like to discuss a bit more in depth.
  • /blog/post for anything else unless it ends up being large enough to warrant a semipermanent page of its own
• Fixed footer which ended up not showing up correctly on mobile

Acknowledgements

• This CSS Reference for providing the minimal amount of changes needed to make a website readable.
• Xavier Plourde’s cycling page as an inspiration for the format of my own cycling page.
• Josh Collinsworth for this article and github example repo that I referenced heavily for the blog part so I didn’t break my back building a website with Svelte. The article is a good base for the blog and the repo has a bunch of nice things and new bells and whistles that I’m quite interested in.
