# 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

-While this site was already minimal (\~12kb), it contained a lot of

+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

-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.
