Title: Some website design changes

Howdy, it's that time of year again where I apparently do design
things on this website (the last article is from exactly 2 years ago).
Apologies if you've never been to my website and only use the [RSS]
feed. Also: you're cool!
In previous iterations of this series I tended to fundamentally change
the way that the website worked, either by changing the way that the
html was generated, or by cutting down/ adding categories. This time
I'm doing none of that.
Indeed things are getting simpler but mostly on the CSS side of
things. I was able to delete about half of my CSS which is a pretty
cool. The biggest change in the way the website looks is the article
overview and the article pages themselves.
Generally I didn't like the card design style very much anymore so I
wanted to change that. But I also wanted to make it simpler to see
all my articles at a glance, without any summaries. I feel this makes
the blog feel more "web log-y", which I like. It also means it's now
consistently bright text on dark background and I think I've gotten
the typography down enough to make it all pretty.
Anyway, there's more things I wanted to do but those will come later.
I should also point out that my primary code host for this website
isn't github anymore. It's now hosted on [sourcehut] and
collaborations are still welcome (if you see a typo or have general
comments), albeit not with pull requests anymore. You can submit
patches to my [public inbox] which I have hinted at in a previous
article.
In post-congress news I seem to have caught a cold, so: bye.
