Switched from Atkinson Hyperlegible to Inclusive Sans for the main font.

Switched over to a fork of Autonomie. It got too difficult to make changes in a child theme while staying up to date with upstream. Also finally got a local WordPress instance set up, so I can experiment safely.

  • Finally figured out how to make changes to the Autonomie theme without breaking my own changes. Fixed the jarring inline code and code block backgrounds, and sync’d with upstream.
    • Had to turn on Browser Cache in W3TC so that it adds a unique query param to static resources and lets me manually regenerate it to cache-bust.
  • Seems like my robots.txt changes are working with Google and Bing at least. Articles are indexable, but nothing else is. Confirmed via their webmaster consoles.

Reworked categories:

  • RIP Journal. Its entries are moved under Notes now and tagged with “journal” and (if applicable) “weeknote”.
  • Micro is now Notes. Microblogging was too specific. It’s just a collection of posts that aren’t articles.
  • All the URL slugs were shortened, so instead of /category/articles/ it’s just /c/a/.

Updated robots.txt to allow access to /a/ and /c/a/, so bots could crawl articles, but not anything else. Not sure how the order of Allow/Disallow works exactly.

Started tweaking the Autonomie theme to show more compact archive/index pages instead of full posts.

Started adding various SEO/marketing bots to robots.txt disallows, along with Bingbot and CCBot for their AI nonsense.

Removed the tag cloud in the footer. May be something I’ll add back if/when I have a couple magnitudes more posts.

You can use an RSS feed reader rss/atom feed icon to be notified of new posts. Just add the URL of any page into it and it should show the available feeds. Subscribe to a category (top menu bar) by using its URL, or these links:

  • rss/atom feed icon Articles
  • rss/atom feed icon Notes
  • rss/atom feed icon Links
