If you are thinking about making your own blog, here are some links to help you on your way.

The Incredible Shrinking Blog Post

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The problem with keeping up a blog streak for however many days it is now is that you don’t actually get a huge amount of time to think of ideas for posts and actually write them. Ironically, I’ve been thinking about this post for a while though.

Into February

Having made it to one post per day in January, we now move into February: that graveyard of good habits for the new year. What is it about flipping over the calendar to a new month that does away with our resolve to continue with our resolutions? My office calendar has a lovely picture of a German steam train in the snow, in case you were wondering.

Dithering Around

While off sick and under the weather I decided to play around with presenting the photos on this blog in a fashion more in keeping with the current Hugo theme.

Nineteen Out Of Nineteen?

I’m having trouble finding something to write about today. Partly the problem of having a productive weekend of doing things rather than ruminating on blog topics. So unfortunately, we get another space-filling post.

A nice feature I added to this blog in its recent update was a tags page. With the help of this very useful discourse thread and some additional CSS tweaks, the resulting page is something that I am very happy with. It lists all of the tags that apply to any post, along with the number of posts with that tag, in alphabetical order. It’s mostly intended as a guide for you the reader, to help you see whether your preoccupations match my own.

The new look mattischrome

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the new look for my blog. I’ve had my eye on a more minimal look for a while now. Whether this new look is successful or not depends on how often I write new posts. To that end, this theme also supports a separate (or almost separate) stream of photos. Once I’ve got back in to the habit of putting photos up, that should be a nice additional stream of content.

Oh heck it's June

White rabbits and all that.

Checking In

Despite my best intentions, I didn’t manage to continue writing posts after the first day of 2022! But perhaps now I can try again as an excuse to test my blogging set up on my new computer.
