What's your background, and what are your skills?

I did this in 2022 [1] and have really liked my new work. There are a lot of nonprofits doing important things, and I think it's likely you could switch to one.

OT: what's your blog based on?

I looked for a colophon / about site page with no joy.

Source suggests it's simply hand-coded HTML?

Hrm... Apparently, plus some webscripts?

That's right: I draft each post in HTML, then have some scripts which add indexes, headers, footers, and css, and make an RSS feed.


Thanks, pretty cool.

I also like the article preview hack.


Thanks! Implementation details: https://www.jefftk.com/p/preview-on-hover
