Adding more features to the blog

So, I built a comment system for static sites to use right here on this blog, and apparently, it actually works!

The service is hosted on a mini PC on my local network. Basically, the static site (which runs on a Raspberry Pi) sends the submitted data to that PC, which saves it and waits for my approval. Once I approve them, the blog's static page makes a request to the server via JavaScript and renders the comments. Thanks to this, you can now have comments on statically generated posts!

Next up on the build list: a search system for static sites—also to be used right here.
