Spent some more time cleaning up old artifacts from a WordPress to jekyll conversion, and preparing to take everything from Minimal Mistakes to Chirpy.
One of the last items was recreating a favicon - the one I use is low res and the originals are lost in time.
I've already had the joys of reclassifying everything (because I sort of did categories wrong in Minimal Mistakes) - just need to go through the posts and validate everything looks good.
A year ago I published my first blog post. I decided it was time to give the site a bit of an upgrade. https://blog.cammurphy.com/2026/02/15/new-theme.html
Was fiddling a bit with the #minimalmistakes #jekyll theme to integrate a "share to mastodon" button.
Half way there.
Just discovered how easy it is to add a simple TOC π to your #Markdown #Jekyll π§ͺ website π Simply add these two lines of code to your Markdown file (using the #MinimalMistakes theme + #kramdown):
* TOC
{:toc .toc_intext}
and add some appropriate #CSS commands to your _base.scss. That's it, no further plugins are requiered. See it in action here: π https://www.fabriziomusacchio.com/blog/2024-01-08-ruhrmuseum/
During a recent visit to the Ruhr Museum in Essen, I discovered not just an outstanding modern museum, but also a gateway to the rich history of the Ruhr area, also known as the βRuhrpottβ. This museum visit opened my eyes to the depth and complexity of the Ruhr regionβs past and present.
If you run a static #Jekyll website using the #MinimalMistakes theme, I once created a #cheatcheet to have the most important and frequently used features at hand. Feel free to use and share it π€

@joel my blog uses #MinimalMistakes and he has a neat sort option for the tags page. https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/blob/master/_layouts/tags.html
I just wrote a blog post about #tags and #jekyll as well: https://claytonerrington.com/blog/working-wtih-jekyll-tags/
For anyone else who may struggle with inserting the #Mastodon verified website link in an elegant manner, this page has a very thorough explanation of how to place it in the page header.
The technique was particularly helpful in the case of my #Jekyll website, where the #MinimalMistakes theme passes footer links via #YAML processing. The header code placement removed the need to alter the theme to include the rel="me" tag, or to place an inelegant body link.

My website http://plantarum.ca/ has been extra static for the past three years. After much bumbling around, it's now updated to the most recent #minimalmistakes #jekyll theme.
Maybe in another week I'll have some new content to go on it.
