However, it seems that I am never done, as I am yet again -changing this page to fit my current needs and wants. - -While this site was already minimal (~12kb), it contained a lot of -disorganized content and some poorly chosen color schemes. - -The recent updates attempt to fix these items while focusing on what I -truly care about here: the content within each page. - -** Recent Changes -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: recent-changes -:END: -I've made quite a few changes to the style of this website today, both -in the CSS and in the HTML. - -Here are some of the key takeaways from today's changes: - -1. Reduce the width of the website from =60em= to =40em=. -2. Remove breadcrumb navigation and replaced with a simple "Return Home" - link when visiting anything other than the homepage. -3. Remove syntax highlighting from code blocks. CSS now loads from a - single file. -4. Move blog posts on the homepage to the top, pushing tertiary content - down. -5. Update font-family from =monospace= to =sans-serif= for readability. - -** Future Focus -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: future-focus -:END: -*** Accessibility -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: accessibility -:END: -My main focus amidst all the changes this past year was accessibility. I -tried to improve the accessibility of all pages on this site as well as -I know how. For example, I added aria labels to identify different -navigation menus in November. - -I want to continue this in 2023 and learn more about the accessibility -features I can utilize to help those who may need them. - -*** Content First -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: content-first -:END: -Beyond accessibility, I am making a concerted effort to bring the -content of this site to the forefront and push the tertiary information -(e.g., About Me, Services, etc.) down below the content. - -Further, I want to review and edit previous blog posts for grammar, -accuracy, dead links, and more. Where necessary, I may even add a blurb -at the top of old posts that are no longer accurate or helpful. - -*** Style -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: style -:END: -As always, I will be searching for ways to reduce distractions and bring -a minimalistic approach to this site. While there are certainly more -drastic measures I could take, such as making this a -[[https://shinobi.bt.ht][Shinobi Website]] or a [[https://nocss.club][No -CSS Website]], I prefer to keep some modern features here. - -Two ideas have been floating around in my head, but I am not sure how I -feel about these approaches yet: - -1. Going all-in with Emacs org-mode and creating a script to - auto-publish all my blog posts from org-mode to plain HTML files and - then letting my CSS style it after the fact. -2. Focus on publishing for Gemini or Gopher and then utilize a - conversion program to translate the pages to HTML. - -** Looking Back -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: looking-back -:END: -As I sit here and finalize the changes, as well as this post, I am happy -with the current state of this website. It's certainly a long way from -my first attempts (parallax background images, anyone?) and it's good to -see the progress. - -I can only hope and work hard to ensure that I make more meaningful -progress by this time next year. |
