What if we completed restructured again?
So! I should have made a post in the middle here, but I did not. Previously, as in last month (Jan '25), I redid the site's structure for a focus on a main "feed" for simplicity. That being said, I didn't like that! So here we are, redoing the site again.
The site still has a central feed, now called the blog, but I'm reserving that for random personal posts. This solves the issue of "oh no where do I go to talk about Ping-Pong Peril" while also having a greater focus. It doesn't feel as weird if random personal posts get the feed, but things like a writing project have their own thing.
Also, I redid the python program to make the site! I wanted it to be better structured, and I think it kinda is! Basically, it crawls down my folder of markdown stuff, going into folders first and then converting files. Rather than having separate bits of code to handle turning things into tags, I just have a big old set of regex pairs, one to find the text to be converted and another to show how it should be reformatted. This was fine, though goodness gracious did it take some effort to get the HTML files looking nice. I didn't bother much with that at first, considering I shouldn't be in the weeds of the files in the first place if things go well, but I did want to have them nice in case I ever needed to look inside.
