-# The State of This Website
-
-Over the years, this website has changed URLs, styles, content focus, and much
-more. 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
-
-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
-
-## Accessibility
-
-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
-
-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
-
-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 [Shinobi
-Website](https://shinobi.bt.ht) or a [No CSS Website](https://nocss.club), 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
-
-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.
