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. |
