💬 Just Added 'View on Silo' Links
Just added ‘View on Silo’ links. Currently it reads a syndication link of a post. If it recognizes the host it will show a link with ‘View on…’ as a title attribute and text. It’d be nicer if it was more actionable than that, but that’s a next step. Also, there’s a mysterious margin on the Timeline for the buttons and I can’t sort out which property is affecting it.

💬 Just finished the CSS
Just finished the CSS; icon attribution next. I want to get either the harder parts or the most boring parts taken care of first before moving into fun things. I need to create an area in the footer to access the CC Attributions for the icons I’m using, then need to sort out WebMentions. But, honestly? I may just decide to work on theming (and replacing the text with icons on mobile for the menu).
💬 Wah! That was a slog.
Wah! That was a slog. But at least I got the sections that I think want set up for the site, and things would be relatively okay for posting and creating content on, now! Before I continue on, I’m gonna try to tweak the CSS for responsiveness (because there is no responsive design at all at the moment).
📄 Bless the Gods for CSS Flex Boxes!
I love that Flex Boxes exist. It makes it pretty fun to create new layouts and styles, and is definitely going to be part of my toolkit from now on. Of course, my first test with it is not the standard column layouts with resizable widths, but instead is a fixed-width tile style reminiscent of the Metro Design Language. Is it accessible? Well, the structure looks okay without styles. Is it pretty? I think so.
