Updates to this site

I’ve made some substantial changes to the structure of this site. It still runs on Ghost CMS, but I’ve switched to a more versatile base theme: Braun by Themex. I was drawn to it for the persistent sidebar navigation and the clever workarounds it uses to overcome Ghost’s limitations.

The theme is designed so I can build pages and specific types of collections with distinct layouts using internal tags. For example, the "What’s New" section is just regular posts filtered by a tag. Simple, but it works well.

The plan is to split the content into a few areas:

  • Newsletter (email only): Personal updates and broadcasts to friends
  • Posts (sometimes emailed): Longer-form content
  • What’s New (not emailed, name still TBD): A stream of shorter, feed-like posts
  • Recommendations (not emailed): Curated lists of media, tools, apps, etc.

Typography

I'm sure – and hope – you've noticed the beautiful typography. I'm making use of my recurring Adobe subscription and utilizing two gorgeous fonts for the website, they are:

DIN 2014 by Paratype
FF Typestar by Steffen Sauerteig

Enjoy!
