The New Layout!

Posted on 2024-10-01

Okay! We did it!

I wanted to put together a new version of the layout just to appease my enjoyment of a variety of aesthetics, and also to make the site easier to maintain. Previously, this was being run off my own deranged static site compilation workflow involving nunjucks-to-html; now nearly everything is markdown files running off of Zola, which is a very lightweight static site engine written in Rust.

It took me a little bit to figure out (involving deconstructing and reconstructing some of the available themes) but it turns out the macro setup is really nice? I'd recommend taking a look if you're in the market for a static site generator. (I've also heard good things about Lume recently, although I haven't gotten the chance to try it out yet.)
