A new look and feel. Revel in my capricious nature!
New Coat of Paint?
I had a weird dream last night where I wanted to put something on the front page of my radio blog that would put up spot information for me when I’m in the field and either the POTA site or the Reverse Beacon Network caught me in the field. It would be the kind of web widget that I would turn on or off depending on circumstances. Like, for a local park? Great! Advertising that I’m on vacation in a foreign land? Maybe less good? I don’t know. I didn’t really think about it that deeply but what did occur to me is that I’d have to do it as Wordpress plug-in or widget or something and I haven’t messed around with that stuff in really, really long time. Honestly? I didn’t want to start now. So instead, I did something really silly.
Total Reboot
I decided while I was walking the dog that I’d just torch the Wordpress install and blast everything into Jekyll and call it even. So that’s what I did. I played around with some ideas I had for a theme and dug around in my archive of stuff that I’d messed with before for other sites and pulled this out. It’s a fun pseudo-cyberpunk look and if I don’t like it in a week? I’ll change it. And it will be less of a pain that dealing with Wordpress. Not that I’m down on Wordpress! It’s great for people who need that kind of stuff. I just…don’t. I’m good with a text editor and rsync.
Hopefully, the RSS feed will work for everyone and things will be OK on that front. We’ll find out the hard way!
