Was away from this blog for a while.
Resurfaced again after doing a couple of new stuff.
First of all, why previously infrequently touched this blog? Because adding new content and editing, if compared to a full web interface like Blogger, was a bit of a pain. Editing a Pelican blog is something like writing Sphinx docs. Only difference is that you might be a bit concerned about the CSS styling.
On Blogger, you get a preview at the click of a button, or indeed WYSIWYG editor. Here, I mentioned that I used StackEdit, but the irritation was the Live Preview does not reflect the actual style of my site. Well, now I've fixed that, as described in another blog post.
Stuff:
Revamped the blog theme, now can use stackedit to Live Preview the actual CSS as used on-site
- 1) Modified StackEdit so that I could get the Live Preview reflecting the actual CSS of my site.
Also, hadn't mentioned, but should mention because I put in a lot of effort into it... I've changed the theme of this Pelican site from a default bootstrap template to what you see here. It's modified from the theme at the Phonon site.
- 2) Changed the theme of this site.
As you can see also here, numbered lists in Markdown don't seem to be able to start from an arbitrary number, but at this point, I don't care about it already.
What else?
Make VirtualBox VMs not grow indefinitely filling up your hard disk
That was one of the most liberating things that I learnt and put into use, was writing it as part of this post but it got long, so moved it to the next post!
