I don’t know if I’ll get to do everything in this list this April. Some of it might have to wait until May or beyond.
- I have a wishlist, but adding to it requires writing my own HTML. I want to generate that page from a TSV file with an awk script.
- I want to show the ten most recent posts as “latest posts” instead of just the most recent one, in case I have a particularly prolific blogging period.
- I think that recent posts should be everything in the current year.
- I think the sitemap should show all blog posts.
- I want to move my bookmarks page to a /blogroll URL, and create a separate /buttons page.
- My entire blogroll comes from one file. I’d like to break it out into multiple files by category so I can provide a more organized blogroll page.
- Novels published online like Without Bloodshed might be easier to read if I break them up into one file per chapter.
- It might be worthwhile to start creating monthly digests, released on the first of the month, for everything I posted the previous month. I could provide a RSS feed for digests as well, for people who might otherwise be overwhelmed by a metric shitload of updates in the feed reader when I go on a posting bender.
- I’m not happy with my about page.
- I owe Manuel Moreale a page for People and Blogs.
- I’d like to do a long page documenting my Emacs config without using Org Mode to generate it.
- I’d like to document the custom tools I used to build this website, as well as its stylesheet.
- My chosen theme for the September 2024 IndieWeb Carnival is “Power Underneath Despair: In your darkest hour, what saved you?”, so I should put together a post about how heavy metal saved my life.
- I would like to actually start working on my fiction online again.
If some of this doesn’t happen until May or June, that’s also fine. This isn’t a side hustle, so there aren’t any deadlines.
There are a couple of things I must do this month.
- Research candidates for the 2024 Democratic primary in my state so I can make intelligent choices when filling out my mail-in ballot.
- Prepare my local, state, and Federal income tax returns even though the relevant authorities know how much I get paid and how much gets deducted, and therefore should already know who owes what to whom.
