So soon after Blau's Blog 2.0? Yeah.
See, the thing about websites, or anything really, is that it's only useful if you actually use it. If it's not pleasant to use, you're not going to use it. That's kind of what I fell into with the Jekyll blog.
Links and Buttons are here!

[How I Did It]
This post is migrated from my old blog. It's not super relevant to this one, as this blog runs on Grav instead of Jekyll; I copied it over here for completeness. I'll put a new post up with how I accomplish this in Grav.
A little late, but I did finally get the Links and Buttons page up and running! And, as promised, I'll explain how I did it.
Got an 88x31 button ready!

Just in time for Cohost's shutdown, I threw together a very quick and simple 88x31 button!
I'll eventually make a fancier one, or one with art in the background, or something. But for now, here you go! Feel free to use this on your button lin...
What's up? Patch notes and chatter

[Blau Chatter]
This post is migrated from my old blog. It's not super relevant to this one, as this blog runs on Grav instead of Jekyll; I copied it over here for completeness.
The way that this blog setup is ... well, set up, feels like it lends itself more to Effortposting rather than regular small casual updates. It doesn't need to be that, but that's what my brain feels like it needs to be. It's probably because everything needs to have a title, and there are a lot of things that I'd like to post that don't really need a title. I'm trying to figure out how I can convince my brain that posting chatter and whatnot is OK here, so I'm trying this out: a dedicated category for these kinds of posts.
Back on Cohost I'd probably tag these as "blau chatter". So, I'm going to make that a category here. (While writing, I had the category named "What's up?"; I do still kind of like that category, and might swap to that at some point. We'll see.)
Anyway! I made some adjustments to the site and wanted to give a little "what am I up to" update.

I feel like I've been talking about updating this for forever, and it uh. I think I generated this new Jekyll folder in late May, so it kind of has been! I've been chipping away at it, alongside writing, scrapping, then re-writing the new Kinzart website1 for the better half of the year, but Cohost announcing that it's shutting down at the end of 20242 kind of pushed me into gear to finish updating this so that I have somewhere better to put my long-form posts and guides rather than trying to break them up and put them on Mastodon. Plus, they're public here. My primary page on Cohost is only visible to logged-in users3, which is comfortable, but not very helpful if you want to actually share what you're writing.
Right! So what exactly changed? Aside from, you know, all of it.
