We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel here in the last couple of days. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t like writing blog posts on weekends.

So here’s a list of changes I’ve made to the blog before or during Blaugust this year. Which I wrote down over a week ago.

  • Updated to the latest version of Hugo, including addressing all the deprecation warnings.
  • Refreshed the about page.
  • Added a links page, simplified the menus.
  • Addressed broken images in several years’ worth of older WordPress-imported posts.
  • Created a set of Antigravity skills to streamline posting and image processing.
  • Added a new Hugo theme to freshen the look of the site.
  • Imported archived posts from three other older blogs.
  • Created access statistics and cost analysis report pages.
  • Updated Spirit Riot comment system.
    • Added authentication to allow commenting with a Google account, Mastodon account, or IndieAuth account.
    • Fixed some security holes.
  • Created Bathtub Robot blog companion services (an upgrade from a previously half-finished project).
    • Added automated fediverse post notification because I will forget to do that manually 100% of the time.
    • Sends webmentions and pingbacks to external sites.
  • Not exactly related to this site per se, but I parked three other old WordPress sites, with redirects, using CloudFlare Pages, as part of my effort to put all my Internet content in one place.
    • everettrenshaw.com (my old writing site).
    • promisetable.com (my almost never-used music site).
    • swampip.com (my old political blog).
  • Also unrelated to the blog, but I resurrected my gotosocial instance gts.endgameviable.com and migrated it to a VPS.
