Changes
Sometimes I tinker with the structure or layout of the site.
I made and recorded 17 changes…
Below, I list the date of the updates and a link to the updated page.
- Removing the rel=“next” and rel=“prev” for tags and series.
- Renaming Previous Posts to Older Posts. And Next Posts to Newer Posts.
- Added an Epigraphs section under the Site-Map.
- Updated scripts for building Glossary entries. Now tags and inline mentions are counted. Prior to this change, only inline mentions.
- Replacing 📖 with 🔍 for definitions. The book is a bit more visually disruptive, whereas the magnifying glass is just a bit more subtle. I like that visual weight.
- Reworking usage of glossary terms to use a unified glossary.html shortcode, this has created some odd rendering of past posts. I’m working through those oddities.
- Replacing jeremyf@hey.com with jeremy@takeonrules.com.
- Updating Glossary of Terms to consolidate links to games, abbreviations, and mentions.
- Adding my resume.
- Adding Content Disclaimers.
- Removing Mastodon and Twitter Likes from a post’s list of webmentions.
- Adding Series to Session Reports index page.
- Added Help Building your Résumé to the list of services I offer.
- Replacing old jeremy.n.friesen@gmail.com address with jeremyf@hey.com.
- Adjusting navigation for related articles. In a post’s metadata section, I’ve added a next and previous link for each tag. This allows you to readily navigate posts by tag. I’m not entirely satisfied with the look as it introduces a lot to visually parse. However, I believe the utility is nice to have.
- Adjusting page neighbor rendering; This now follows similarly to how I render next and previous links.
-
For a given breadcrumb, replacing the last in the trail with a
cite
tag. Prior to this change it was ana
tag. - What I’m doing is moving the related links to within the given article’s header. I think this makes semantic sense.
- Exposing RSS feeds for each Licenses, Series, and Tags.
- Exposing RSS feeds for each individual License, Series, and Tag.
- Adding Atom and RSS feeds for Updates and Changelog
- Migrated site hosting from Github Pages to Nearly Free Speech. See Farewell Github Pages, Hello Nearly Free Speech for the specifics.
-
Added
rel="up"
andrel="home"
attributes to appropriate links. These attributes help with keyboard navigation and assistive technology. - Adding pagination to the years pages (e.g. Posts for 2020).
