What this site is missing
So this site has been up officially for just shy of a month. It has, of course, gotten virtually no traffic of note. I've been hit by the Google bot1 and myself several times, and probably a few other minor things. But that's about it. That's ok, though. This site is more for me to have a place to put down thoughts than a traffic generator ;) But I'm going to fuss over it for quite a while, until I'm completely happy about it. So this page will be a sort of placeholder for what needs to be done still (besides writing meaningful articles).
Mobile supportResponsive layout. This layoutsuckshas issues on my phone. It's not bad on my tablet, but could use work there, as well. The biggest problems right now are the menu and previous/next navigation.Remove the individual category links from the categories page. These are actually atom feeds. So...maybe make them look like it. Or, change them to match the individual tags pages but also do an atom feed.Done January 11, 2016.Add feeds back in.
Add a comment system. I don't really like Disqus, so I'm looking for a viable fully open-source substitute. Discourse sounds interesting, but I don't know if it's appropriate. In the meantime, email me.
Go HTTPS. This may happen when Dreamhost supports Let's Encrypt directly. Or I may switch to a different hosting provider. Who's to say at this point.Using Let's Encrypt via Dreamhost as of April 13, 2016. It took me exactly 15 seconds! Of course, I'm not redirecting yet. But that could happen soon... Redirecting as of May 17, 2016.Fix the favicon to be mine (and not Sculpin's).Done on May 17, 2016. Not perfect (source image not high enough resolution) but done for now.Add code colorization. Probably with Hyperlight so it's pre-rendered in HTML rather than JavaScript later. I dislike it when code morphs in the middle of reading it.
