@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

@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

@Satsuma the aforementioned XSLT plus handwritten Atom feeds

this has to be one of the most absolutely minimal blog setups ever used

• @Satsuma created caramels! You can see pictures here: ‹ https://glitch.cat.family/@Satsuma/106994905207340823 ›.

• In the process of re·organizing/consolidating my internet presence, I wrote an XSLT ‹ https://github.com/marrus-sh/u2764/blob/master/Atom.xslt › which can be used to generate index pages like ‹ https://www.u2764.com/XRPT/ › and ‹ https://www.u2764.com/OFIC/ › from linked Atom feeds/archives! See the source code for those pages, or @ me for an explanation of how it works.

thankfully, i also know enough to quote the relevant passages verbatim when i cite a link

like 5 people read the stuff i write and i still know enough to not delete things off the internet without cause and to spoof a redirect when i move a post

when they delete the page

really makes the bookkeeping i am doing right now much easier

thank you, me of 2018, for deciding that from now on i was only going to make webpages which were self‐contained and easily distributable

@monorail oh yeah i always forget where the event listener goes with load events

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", ...) might be better if you don't need to wait for assets but it's nbd

the comic is actually named after him

the cat from garfield is named garfield

maybe this is a problem of living in america, where your fantasy book about X historical figure or event is likely the only thing about X historical figure or event that anyone will ever read

like you couldn’t come up with an original idea so you decided to distort our understanding of history, something we already have great difficulty understanding? ok

my feelings towards authors who write fantasy based on historical events are similar to squares’ feelings regarding people who write fanfiction
