+title: How I built this website
+---
+
+Sometimes people ask me (well, one person did) how I actually author content on
+this site and also how I maintain and host it. Essentially, it’s a
+run-of-the-mill [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) site hosted on [pages.sr.ht](https://srht.site). The following explains how
+all of this came together.
+
+### Origins
+
+About five years ago I realized I wanted to have a website again. Yes, *again*,
+this wasn't the first time I had had a website.
+
+I think I had my first website in the late 90s, it was hosted on [xoom.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoom_(web_hosting)) and I
+had to upload content to it via [FTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol) over a 56k modem, no broadband at that time
+yet. We had fast internet at our school so sometimes I edited the site
+there. Later on I switched to hosting provided by a Finnish computer magazine
+[MikroBitti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MikroBitti). I stopped maintaining that site around 2005 or so, I must have been
+17 or something and had more important things to worry about (like school and
+*World of Warcraft*... ok, mostly *World of Warcraft*).. It wasn't interesting
+anymore, it mostly contained some CSS website layouts I had made.
+
+Early 2015 I decided I wanted to write a blog. I had no idea what about, but
+everyone on the internet seemed to have some sort of verbal outlet for their
+computer things. So I joined the club, copied some Jekyll theme from somewhere,
+and wrote a couple of posts. Eventually I ended up [deleting those](https://github.com/ane/ane.github.io/commit/0e8fb2a3ab9ed9ed17c7dbabd0451eaea3fab799), and I had
+actually nothing on this site, but in January 2016 [I lowered the bar]({% post_url 2016-01-01-before-we-begin %}) and started
+again. 
+
+It seems the most active year (up to now) was 2016, with the quietest period
+being the years 2018-2019. I had lots of things going on in my life around that
+time, and I was still holding the site to too high a standard. I was torn:
+because I was misusing blogging as a medium, I couldn’t blog as a *journal*
+instead I was blogging as a *magazine*. I’ve come to accept that if I am to blog
+often it needs to be an informal journal, otherwise I will set the posting
+standard too high and not post.
+ 
+Fast forward to 2020 I ended up revitalizing my interest on this site, and this
+happened almost by accident. I created a [created a microblog]({% link _micro/01.md %}) and then [ended it]({% post_url 2020-10-06-no-more-microblog %}),
+because I realized it made no sense to have a blog with an arbitrary minimum
+post length. Then I realized I need to actually have more than just blog posts,
+many of the blog posts I have are actually quite [gargantuan in size]({% post_url 2018-04-26-software-customization %}). 
+
+So I started to transition the site towards the blog being, well, just an online
+journal of sorts. More structured content is grouped and assembled into the
+front page, you can read about that below. Eventually, most of the content will
+live outside the blog in various sections, because I think blogging as a medium
+should focus more on a streams-of-though type of posting instead of having
+informative content. I think combining the two makes it very confusing for
+readers.
+
+### Infrastructure ###
+
+This site is a fairly standard [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) static website. The site is divided into
+two principal sections: content and [blog]({% link archive.html %}). Posts are written primarily in
+Markdown. The site is versioned using Git and hosted at
+[sourcehut](https://git.sr.ht/~ane/web), a [builds.sr.ht job](https://git.sr.ht/~ane/web/tree/master/item/.build.yml)
+builds the site after every commit and then pushes the contents to [pages.sr.ht](srht.site).
+
+An essential part of the content section is the [_link](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/liquid/tags/#links) function in Jekyll. All
+the hyperlinks to documents in the site are linked using that, absolute file
+references are not used. The link function ensures the files are there, this
+ensures that there are no dead links on the site.  I don’t use [collections](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/collections/)
+anymore (I used them for the microblog), basic [pages](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/pages/) are sufficient to maintain
+the non-blog content on this site.  They are not useful for my purposes, perhaps
+I’ll need them one day.
+
+I once tried to use [Org](http://orgmode.org/) to maintain this site, but it was slow and I saw very
+little gain in that. It was quite painful to configure as well. Jekyll is fairly
+easy to hack on and the templating language is quite sufficient.
+

+ <img src="{% link images/how.png %}" width="350px" />
+ <figcaption>What this paragraph looks like with markup hidden in Emacs</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+For editing, I make heavy use of [markdown-mode](https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/ " ") and [web-mode](http://web-mode.org/). Both are [Emacs
+major modes](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Major-Modes.html) for editing markdown and HTML, respectively. web-mode in particular
+is essential for HTML editing since it can handle template engines and has great
+structural navigation and editing commands. Markdown mode does many things, what
+I use the most is the ability to hide the markup (<kbd>C-c C-x C-m</kbd>), so it just looks
+like text, and hyperlinks are formatted inline so I don’t see the ugly link
+syntax. I also insert hyperlinks using <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> since I can use links I’ve
+previously inserted in the same file.
+
+### Design
+
+This page describes the design of this website. If you come here often you might
+notice that every now and then something changes. That is normal, because I
+*really* enjoy tweaking the smallest of things here, be it adjusting margins,
+adding padding, changing fonts, and so on. It’s a neverending project, I can’t
+tell you if the site as you see *now* will be how it will look like in five
+years. But here’s a rough idea how it looks like at the time of writing.
+
+Most people will ask, "what design?", as you’re greeted with the browser default
+font, probably a serif or sans-serif font, no colors beside the links, barely
+any borders or visual frills. This is by design, or *the* design: the design
+emphasizes this site’s focus on *content*. I want the text to be as readable and
+distraction-free as possible. To this end,
+
+  * the content is center-aligned and constrained to a maximum width on large
+    screens,
+  * the font is black-on-white at about `16px` of height,
+  * the navigation is at the top of the page, and also aligned to the center,
+  * there are no colours or background highlights unless absolutely necessary.
+  
+Part of the reason why I don't specify any extra fonts or the like is to make
+sure the site works on any device possible. I also happen to enjoy browsing
+"unstyled" pages because it puts emphasis on content over form, although some
+styling is necessary to make this enjoyable. There is no need to design for
+responsiveness when the site mostly just text.
+
+The stylesheet is [a couple hundred lines of SCSS](https://git.sr.ht/~ane/web/tree/master/item/assets/override.scss) and mostly just deals with the
+formating of the navbar and images, and removing some built-in ugliness of the
+default browser styles, e.g., by thinning out horizontal rules to a single line.
+
+I plan for the central index at the front page to evolve in a tree-like
+structure of the whole site itself, but as the content outside the blog is
+rather thin, it’s just a link to, well, this section.

-For editing, I make heavy use of [markdown-mode](https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/ " ") and [web-mode](http://web-mode.org/). Both are [Emacs
-major modes](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Major-Modes.html) for editing markdown and HTML, respectively. web-mode in particular
-is essential for HTML editing since it can handle template engines and has great
-structural navigation and editing commands. Markdown mode does many things, what
-I use the most is the ability to hide the markup (<kbd>C-c C-x C-m</kbd>), so it just looks
-like text, and hyperlinks are formatted inline so I don’t see the ugly link
-syntax. I also insert hyperlinks using <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> since I can use links I’ve
-previously inserted in the same file.

-About five years ago I realized I wanted to have a website again. Yes, *again*,
-this wasn't the first time I had had a website.
-
-I think I had my first website in the late 90s, it was hosted on [xoom.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoom_(web_hosting)) and I
-had to upload content to it via [FTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol) over a 56k modem, no broadband at that time
-yet. We had fast internet at our school so sometimes I edited the site
-there. Later on I switched to hosting provided by a Finnish computer magazine
-[MikroBitti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MikroBitti). I stopped maintaining that site around 2005 or so, I must have been
-17 or something and had more important things to worry about (like school and
-*World of Warcraft*... ok, mostly *World of Warcraft*).. It wasn't interesting
-anymore, it mostly contained some CSS website layouts I had made.
-
-Early 2015 I decided I wanted to write a blog. I had no idea what about, but
-everyone on the internet seemed to have some sort of verbal outlet for their
-computer things. So I joined the club, copied some Jekyll theme from somewhere,
-and wrote a couple of posts. Eventually I ended up [deleting those](https://github.com/ane/ane.github.io/commit/0e8fb2a3ab9ed9ed17c7dbabd0451eaea3fab799), and I had
-actually nothing on this site, but in January 2016 [I lowered the bar]({% post_url 2016-01-01-before-we-begin %}) and started
-again. 
-
-It seems the most active year (up to now) was 2016, with the quietest period
-being the years 2018-2019. I had lots of things going on in my life around that
-time, and I was still holding the site to too high a standard. I was torn:
-because I was misusing blogging as a medium, I couldn’t blog as a *journal*
-instead I was blogging as a *magazine*. I’ve come to accept that if I am to blog
-often it needs to be an informal journal, otherwise I will set the posting
-standard too high and not post.
- 
-Fast forward to 2020 I ended up revitalizing my interest on this site, and this
-happened almost by accident. I created a [created a microblog]({% link _micro/01.md %}) and then [ended it]({% post_url 2020-10-06-no-more-microblog %}),
-because I realized it made no sense to have a blog with an arbitrary minimum
-post length. Then I realized I need to actually have more than just blog posts,
-many of the blog posts I have are actually quite [gargantuan in size]({% post_url 2018-04-26-software-customization %}). 
-
-So I started to transition the site towards the blog being, well, just an online
-journal of sorts. More structured content is grouped and assembled into the
-front page, you can read about that [over here]({% link _this-site/how.md %}). Eventually, most of the content
-will live outside the blog in various sections, because I think blogging as a
-medium should focus more on a streams-of-though type of posting instead of
-having informative content. I think combining the two makes it very confusing
-for readers.
