jasperad0501 what is blogging
# 
Loqi Blogging is the practice of writing and publishing datestamped posts listed in reverse chronological order on a website (weblog or blog for short), each post usually publicly available at a permalink (sometimes a fragment link) on a personal site https://indieweb.org/blogging

[aciccarello] jasperad0501 what kind of alternative are you looking for? technical? design? inspiration?
# jasperad0501 i’m not entirely sure. i used 11ty for my last blog, since it’s hosted on glitch.me. so, probably something along the lines of that or jekyll.
# [aciccarello] I also have an 11ty site
# [aciccarello] What's broken?
# jasperad0501 the site itself. it either refuses to load or update a new post
# jasperad0501 and when it does load, it remains stagnant and refuses to load the new blog post
# jasperad0501 i’m supposed to have 3 so far, but it only displays two or breaks entirely
# [aciccarello] Oh so it's an issue with glitch? Or 11ty doesn't build?
# jasperad0501 i’m not entirely sure, since my other glitch website is currently functional. it’s just the blog that isn’t.
# jasperad0501 said website is under construction right now until either the blog works properly or i switch blog hosts

[jeremycherfas] Finally, after many SNAFUs, my new, Tailwind-free site design is live at https://jeremycherfas.net although I do have one remaining problem. I gratefully use http://webmention.herokuapp.com to receive and deliver my webmentions, and Pelle’s script to display them. I would love to make the actual display of the div that contains webmentions conditional on whether there are any to display, but I haven’t a clue how to do that.
# [jeremycherfas] Suggestions very welcome.
# [jeremycherfas] Plus, of course, all comments, criticisms, suggestions very welcome.

# capjamesg[d] Amazing!
# capjamesg[d] I see a debug bar at the bottom of the page?
# [jeremycherfas] Oops. I was, er, debugging.
# [jeremycherfas] Ah, I see you are looking in dark mode; if so, you will may notice something very odd in the middle section of the footer.
# [jeremycherfas] That dark mode is two lines of CSS, thanks to FrESH++

# [jeremycherfas] I am now quite keen to learn about using object-fit to style avatar images.
# 
[KevinMarks] [jeremycherfas] you could use something like `.comments:has(.webmention-mention)
{ display:block;}` and make it `display:none;` by default.nemonical joined the channel
# [jeremycherfas] Thanks. I shall try that.

# [Sophia_wood] Does any one have and enjoy blogging with svelte? I’m contemplating if I’d like to over engineer a site but have fun in the process.

[artlung] I've been using the TCPDF library to output PDFs for a self-published book for a friend and it's kind of like time travel. I made the mistake of using a <section> tag when I first worked on this like 3 years ago and was mystified it didn't behave. Turns out that library doesn't recognize all html5 stuff! I'm not changing tooling, just writing HTML like it was 2003.

# [artlung] Google Search Console has started giving me data on some searches. I like seeing folks looking for `mm_validateForm()` - I like to think it's people exhuming older pages. https://lab.artlung.com/mm_validateform/

# [KevinMarks] I have a node library I used to make pdf's from html in the day job, but as it's in an AWS lambda I need to yakshave into a new version
