this has to be one of the most absolutely minimal blog setups ever used
@Lady what is it?
@Satsuma the aforementioned XSLT plus handwritten Atom feeds
@Satsuma ordinarily with blogs you have some kind of site generator or server software but this is just a bunch of html files for posts, an xml (atom) file as an index, and then a stylesheet which makes it browsable
@Lady i did have a blog once that was just, A Folder. With dated html files in it
@Satsuma yeah that’s what i did on my website in 2018, although i also had Atom (and JSON!!) feeds that i kept updated so people could subscribe to it, but there wasn’t any like, way to view it as a blog in the browser
the setup i have now just renders the index of files on the left side of the screen and then has an <IFRAME> on the right side which loads the post, which is like, perfectly sufficient for blog purposes, even though i don’t think i’ve ever seen anyone take that approach in the past decade or so at least
