카를로스Check out this nice custom Jekyll plugin I built to display selected #Mastodon posts with images and the "photography" hashtag in an Instagram-like grid :)
You can clearly see how using #Korean apps has influenced my design style in ways I probably can’t undo.
Would anyone be interested if I released it?

CalicosineWith all the #NPM attacks, I'm thinking about ditching PeerTube and setting up some sort of a thing with a combination of Jekyll and Hyper8 to have a website with the styling that I want it to have rather than Hyper8 since I don't really like how it looks. I want to have it so RSS feeds work for stuff too, and having comments work from other federated services would be nice but I would need to ensure blocking and moderation works and allow myself to add comments too.
KoosI've been very happy and relieved for over a week already, because at work we've swapped #Jekyll out with #Astro and did a complete rewrite of the #CSS.
At 2,5 years, it's the longest-running project I've ever worked on professionally 😮💨
Arguably it's the same website and the same project I started 6,5 years ago, but you get the point. I've finally delivered something that's been cooking for so long.
I've been taking notes throughout the process: https://www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/jekyll-astro-migration
podfeetIf you want to up your game on taking advantage of Bootstrap for your web pages while also tailoring the look and feel to be your own, learning to use SASS (a preprocessor for CSS) will make your job easier. @bart explains in Part A of PBS184 in this mammoth podcast episode.
David Hutchison📰 New Post: New Design, Same Site
The time for developing my own blog CSS from scratch has come to an end - I've switched to the Chirpy theme.

New Design, Same Site
When I first moved my blog to Jekyll in mid 2013 theme support wasn’t really a thing, and my CSS was built using the LESS pre-processor. Over time I moved to SASS, which was part of the Jekyll package. That setup has now started to show its age. The build emits deprecation warnings for SCSS features I used, while regular CSS has gained many of the features I originally needed pre-processors for. Theme support in Jekyll has come a long way in all these years, and I wanted to move away from my own custom design if I could find a theme that I liked and met my needs for technical posts - especially handling responsive layouts, which I have struggled to keep bug-free myself. I found Chirpy. It describes itself as a “minimal, responsive, and feature-rich Jekyll theme for technical writing” - exactly what I needed. Nobody needs another blog post overhyping the AI future, but converting my blog from my custom layouts to use the Chirpy theme was something that Codex / GPT 5.4 could do 90% of with ease. It handled most of the layout, configuration, and front matter changes without much fuss. It took a bit of steering to work through bugs I was finding. Overall though, it saved so much time on what I foresaw being a monotonous task. Maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad as I was expecting due to the quality of Chirpy. Regardless, that’s less custom styling code I need to maintain, allowing me to focus on the bits I’m really interested in - the content. When AI works it is amazing and near magic, and saves so much time when I know exactly how to implement what I want. I still hit a fair number of cases where I’m getting convincing but incorrect detail - I will accept that is probably down to the nature of some of the technical problems I am trying to solve, where I am not even sure there is a solution. Sometimes just being able to say “I have no clue” would be a lot better than making something up.
adamriceI have been trying to get a local install of Jekyll to build correctly, and it won’t do so with anything other than the default theme. I’m a total noob at this stuff, but it shouldn’t be that hard. Build doesn't work with remote themes. With locally installed gem themes, I get a complaint on build that the gem is not installed when it clearly is, and the path is in my $PATH.
