Micro Matt

Mostly, writing on @matt@write.as has gotten heavier over the years. With more visibility comes more pressure to write something fully fleshed-out, and right now, I find myself with less time to give my writing all that attention. So instead of at least something getting published, half-drafts get written and then filed away forever. Hopefully a change in format will change that. (I'll try to ignore any audience expectations and largely write straight from the brain.)

This blog is now set up on micro.baer.works, and includes a custom theme copied directly from my baer works site.

Custom domain setup was really, really smooth — set a CNAME record pointing to me.writeas.com and then changed the settings in Write.as; first site load (generating the SSL certificate) took about 10 seconds. New system powered by Caddy is really nice.

Custom theme took about 10 minutes translating everything, adjusting via trial and error. One time, the Customize page showed me an old (cached) version of my Custom CSS, requiring a refresh. Otherwise the process made a strong case for a “V2” default style on Write.as / #WriteFreely. Among other painful CSS rules and !importants, I repeated this CSS fix from matt.writefreely.dev to make the home page font size consistent:

body#collection #wrapper {
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

Also enabled fediverse support, but a critical bug still exists. I hope to investigate and fix once other high-priority issues are off my list.

Today: working on marketing materials for the upcoming ALA conference (virtual). On my list as well, I'm working on Embledly support and some outstanding issues from the Christmas / New Year break.
