After another lovely #HomebrewWebsiteClub meeting, I got inspired to add a little feature that was on my #personalwebsite to-do list: a permalink section.
I learnt that you can add a #CSS rule to make the text selection default to all with: `user-select: all`
If you have a #personalsite or interested in the #IndieWeb, join the next HWC!

[Shameless plug] I've written about migrating my Hugo to Sourcehut and Bunny, leaving GitHub. If you're thinking of switching, you can check it out here:

And if you're interested in trying out Bunny as your static hosting provider or Cloudflare alternative, you can show your support by using this referral code (I get a commission if you become a paying member):

Thank you!

New #blog on #BurgeonLab ✍️
➡️ https://burgeonlab.com/blog/find-orphan-pages-using-python/
Created a #python script to help find pages that are not linked to, from my own site (no internal links, aka orphan pages).
It was a fun little experiment. Happy it works.

New #blog on #BurgeonLab ✍️
➡️ https://burgeonlab.com/blog/add-appreciation-buttons-to-hugo-with-iine
Discovered a new #SmallWeb tool called iine, that is privacy-first, super lightweight, with zero tracking. Also has a noscript version! Created by Óscar (https://github.com/welpo/).
Wrote a quick guide on using it on my Hugo blog.

Excited! I finally started to process of adding a new section to my Hugo site—#weeknotes!
Made a weeknote specific Atom feed, Hugo list and archetype templates. Can't wait to start writing those soon after the setup is done; just ironing out the last details...

Finally migrated my personal website (powered by #HugoSSG) from #GitLab to #Codeberg. Including #CI via #ForgejoActions and hosting via #CodebergPages. Jobs are running on the local #homelab server.
There are jobs for building and deploying the website and for updating the contribution data through #contripy.
So far this has been very smooth and straightforward. Though I still need to learn the new CI workflow syntax as I'm used to GitLab from the daytime job.
Really happy I'm adding more functionality to my tech blog: integrated Mastodon comments! Here's a preview of how it looks after some layout mods.
I'll need a Mastodon post ID in order to reference it in the Hugo front matter... so you might see me post a few toots of my older posts. 
Thanks to @carlschwan and his post/guide: https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/

As a #CSS amateur, I've always just hard coded my colours the traditional way. While working on a light and dark theme switcher on my Hugo blog, I learnt the proper way to do it using the var() function and defining a css variables, e.g. `var(--light-blue)`. I can easily and happily change colours in my theme in the future!
Plus, I get to clean up my custom.css file which got ugly quick from all the random customizations I've been making.
New blog post!
My GitHub Actions workflow and using GitHub Pages for my Hugo blog. Useful for those who want to write and resume on multiple devices.
