Just another day playing carpenter, trying to nail down layouts and themes

Another day tweaking the blog's layouts and themes. I build something on one side, tear it down on the other—mostly because the whole thing was put together with zero structure.

It’s just been add-on after add-on. I started with one idea and now I'm doing something completely different. Originally, it was supposed to be a simple plugin to generate a text-only static site, and now we're already dealing with image galleries and comments! I really need to put the brakes on, otherwise, it’ll turn into a full-blown dynamic site and won't run efficiently on a Raspberry Pi 3B anymore

Today I scrapped all the layouts and templates except for one, and used that as my starting point. Using the new variables I introduced—like full dates, icons, and reading time—I started generating the rest from it. It’s still not exactly how I want it, so I figure I need a couple more days. By Monday, the site's design and layout scalability should be fully sorted out. I'm currently putting together a doc with all the Jinja variables and the generic styling formats I need to apply to the generated elements, like the pagination bar, widget thumbnails, etc. Tomorrow is a new day!
