A week in Kirby CMS
A short update this week, as the week was a quiet one on my website - mainly because I have been rebuilding it.
This week I have:
- Introduced some basic styling into the Kirby Starterkit theme, mainly limited to font face (Atkinson Hyperlegible), and the font weight of the title and abstract sections.
- Templated the structured data collected in activity and route format types into the page format.
- Created archive pages for activity and route content types, including tagmoji to denote activity type, and some structured data.
- I wrote in an earlier Scribble about getting feeds working on Kirby, I have also set that up so only blog items will be published to the feed. That should keep syndication volume sensible, and keep my fitness and weigh-in data out of feed readers.
- Reuploaded around 2 years worth of mountaineering photos, which seems to have sped up the blog page no-end (will need to keep an eye on this).
- Integrated pageRank directly within the site - looking to minimise lookups / subscriptions, though I may retrace steps on Tinylytics yet, I'm not completely decided.
- Put a full working version of the site on my staging server.
Illustrations
I still have around 800 short posts to import, once all of those containing images have been done, I'll be planning to put my staging build live and turn off micro.blog at that point - I'm not sure how long that will all take.
Have a great week, and up the Clarets.
Week ahead
We drew at home to Brighton 1 - 1. I've not written my usual post yet, mainly because I have been working on the above, and partly because I'm frustrated that we will be relegated this season in part because we have failed to make the most out of the games where we have been on top. This was another example. More on that later.
Burnley
I'm really intrigued by Robb Knight's EchoFeed service, which I discovered yesterday. I'm going to test it out on syndicating this scribble later. I'd prefer to build activityPub integration into my site directly, though this may resolved the technical debt involved in building that for now.
