Yet another blog, huh?
I have finally got this static site situated to a position that I think is okay for pushing to a live site.
I sort of attempted a migration from my Eleventy site, which used markdown files for the content. Thankfully, pandoc was able to come to the rescue there, with an assist from Sebastian who went through a similar transition from Hugo. I had attempted something similar previously, but didn't really look into the abilities of pandoc enough to realize that templates were a thing. Those are super useful.
Sebastian has a couple of other tricks up his sleeve, like having tag pages, but I'm not certain that would bring anything to the table for me. Most everything I tag, or have tagged, would be journal, or whatever current blogging challenge I'm working towards not finishing. I'm looking at you, 100DaysToOffload. Ha.
Another source that I have kind of leaned into for inspiration for this incarnation was Thomas Ingram's site and tools. Both org-publish-rss and some of his website publishing setup.
I've got all of my setup materials into a doom emacs config, literate style, that works both from a mainline configuration and tangles out a separate emacs lisp file for publishing from the command line - should I ever decide to go the CI route. All of that lives in my git forge.
The static blog itself also lives in another git repo, the above referenced lisp file is tangled out into it. There's a makefile to help make things a little easier to publishing to my remote box. It does make things a little more hairy, having two different git repositories. I'm kind of a masochist in that way I guess.
I'd really like to be able to have this usable from mobile as well, that might require some other finagling. For one, I might want to get the org files to live in my Nextcloud box - maybe. That would be an easy way to get a sync set up.
I can get images to show up. Org Attach does work, using the same directory that the post index.org file lives in, then just use the standard file: attachment linkage for org. I don't use a lot of images, but it's still nice to have that work.
All right. I hadn't really planned on writing this, but it's good for personal reference later I guess.
