General thoughts on today
Things are going to get more frantic as we sort through the contents of Allt-yr-yn. So, I’m going to take these next couple of days to take stock, work through a plan, and get things finalised so my current endeavours and projects become a little lower maintenance.
Digital Garden To-Do
I need to:
- Set out categories for content across the WordPress pages.
- Create sub-pages for each area of content.
- Develop a rough content plan to build out the site.
- Work on a complementary theme for Quartz.
- Check out some additional plugins for images and galleries, especially for the archived content.
The Quartz template is probably the hardest part, so let’s start there.
Intentionality
During my walk today after dropping Isaac at school, I was thinking about how important it is to be intentional with time. Free will is such a powerful gift, shaping our future in so many ways. How we use it really matters.
I’ve added this as Rule 16 - Living Intentionally and tidied up a few other bits while I was at it.
Back to Quartz
Right now, I’m in the Messy & Functional stage. My usual flow applies: Messy & broken → Messy & functionally ugly → Messy & functional → Better & functional → Correct & broken → Correct & functional.
I’ve added the code for the blinds here:
./quartz/components/Body.tsx– Div tags for Dappled Light and the nested Blinds and Blurs../quartz/styles/base.scss– CSS for the new divs and colours../quartz/static/leaves.png– Background image of leaves.
To get to Correct & Functional, I think I need to:
- Build the tags and CSS into a new component and load it into the pages I want. That should keep things cleaner.
- Sort out the dark/light mode CSS so the colours transition smoothly when clicking the dark mode icon (light → dark → light).
But hey, it works! 😊
