About the DLs ⇒
This year I'd like to get Christine and the girls blogging, so I thought it was time to add some pages about us.
Would be super cool if I could create a neat timeline of fun events that have happened to us.
New Year, New Blog ⇒
This site is built on Statamic, a wonderful, flat file CMS. They've been working on v2 for over a year now and the latest beta release is quite stable now, so to learn about it, I migrated my site to it.
I don't have all my old posts, as there aren't any migration tools, but everything else should work fine.
Next up is building out the About page with our family details and creating some galleries.
Footnotes, get yer foonotes ⇒
I've always liked the footnote thingies at Marco's site, and recently saw on Twitter that he used Bigfoot.js for it1.
I found a bug with the way Statamic handles it but it's easy to work around.
I'm only using the default styling right now so that needs to be changed but at least it's working!
Minor Site Updates ⇒
Some additions/fixes on my site:
- RSS feed is fixed. It wasn't showing up (also using the wonderful Feedpress service)
- Search added. I needed to find an old post and couldn't so added search to my site via the Bloodhound Add-on
- Nav bar is now responsive. When I added the search bar I discovered it disappeared when I looked on my iPhone. This required learning about media-queries and more about Bootstrap!
Update: moved files around to simplify my base code. Performance is worse now,...
