Editing…
in Blog
My entire life needs a re-write! Alas, re-writes suck. So does editing. Maybe I won’t.
But I will make some small changes in habit and form…
I’m changing a bunch of images and cleaning cruft…
Seriously considering dropping my content into another theme.
HydeJack will not work for me long-term. Maybe for a 100 page blog, but it’s slow and bloated, even though I forked the hydejack-starter-kit. ( is is smooth though!) I really gotta give the guy, Florian, props though. I do like his theme. I’m just not skilled enough to fully understand it! Check out Florian’s website: https://qwtel.com/. You’ll see that he has replaced image tags with custom elements and has some nice coded goodies on there that I want! Anyway, if I was just writing 100 articles or less this would be a perfect theme. But I’m looking for alternatives now, before I waste too much time customizing this one!
Speaking of customizing… Press this button:
8kun.top/FreedomZine/ will take you to a comment board where you can make your own threads and comment to your heart’s delight!
The code for the button is really sublime:
[8kun.top/FreedomZine/](https://8kun.top/freedomzine/){: .btn}
Hmmm… Lemme try this too…
<button type="button" onclick="window.location='https://8kun.top/freedomzine/'" class="btn btn- active"></button>
Just press on the bar…
And now this…
<button type="button" onclick="window.location='https://8kun.top/freedomzine/'" class="btn btn-outline-primary active">8kun</button>
I think the first way was the way to do it.
BTW, I added in a 'button.html' file in '_includes' with the following info for those buttons…
<button type="button" onclick="window.location=''" class="btn btn- active"></button>
Alright. Stop getting sidetracked! Nice little discussion though… https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40688633/how-can-i-add-a-button-in-a-md-file-with-jekyll
The minimal-mistakes theme is pretty nice!
Here’s the Quick-Start Guide: https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/.
While researching the minimal-mistakes theme I ran across this minimal-mistakes issue that kinda helps me understand the '_sass' problem I’ve been having – as in, from what I can understand, nobody understands it! Many more knowledgeable minds than mine don’t yet grok the issue; and really, other than throwing up errors, I haven’t noticed any ill effects myself.

Here’s all the Jekyll themes that work out-of-the-box with Github Pages: https://jekyllthemes.io/github-pages-themes
Is that another way of saying Supported Themes???

As for some REALLY COOL VIDEOS :
This Insane Video Game Graphics From The Future! Video is 10 min. of AMAZING WORK.
I actually want to try what is described in this video: Why You Should Learn Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Hugging Face Maybe I’ll use HuggingFace to write an article, just for fun! I’m sure that AI can’t do any worse at writing than me!
And you KNOW I’m not gonna leave you without at least one good music link! Maybe I’ll make a button for playing musical excerpts while you read these lengthy blog posts! (yes, I’m still playing… See button above!)
That gave me an idea, and now I need to find somewhere to host some music files for free that I can hotlink to. Hmmm… Probably get slammed for Copyright or something. I don’t understand all da rools & regs! Aren’t files like rabbits? Steal This Film 1 & 2 may change your mind about copyright laws. It changed mine many years ago.
But I just have something to say about Larkin Poe. Wow. I love their music and talent. I’ve got to link to my favorite song by Larkin Poe - Mad As A Hatter for you. Just watch it and thank me later…
And here’s the music video for the song I’m thinking of putting on the button at the top of the page… Fuck All The Perfect People - Chip Taylor & The New Ukrainians; but no, I’ll find a more ‘appropriate’ one for that – but I still highly recommend you watch the video; and while you’re at it, don’t miss F**k All The Perfect People Part II (The Last Video) - Chip Taylor.
Kinda still need a place to host the files. This entire blog is still only 23 MB and I haven’t even finished cleaning yet! I would like to keep it small – so, ‘hot-linking’, amirite?
The link https://sndup.net/9rqw leads to an .mp3 file I uploaded to sndup.net… Clap Your Hands by ‘The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band’. I’ll use it for the button, I guess. You should really watch their video over at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ra0DsbiNs0. I really don’t think they would want anyone to waste their time asking for permission to help spread their music!
(see how my Notes are bleeding into my Blog again? watch that!)
But no, not going to make a button or have ‘mood music’ or anything like that!
Just playing around today, obviously! Maybe I’ll go do some cleanup and organization. I’ve done enough damage here…
