Approaching Our 3,000th Post (After Moving to a Static Site Generator Back in September)
THIS site turns 18 later this year, but the new system, which had been developed since 2 years ago (summer of 2022), was only put in place 8 months ago. It is still work in progress. It changes based on our needs as a site (and the constructive requests from our community).
Well, in the process of improving the site's navigation function, based on feedback from readers, we added pagination which synthesises permanent, immutable pages that - unlike CMSware/bloatware (such as WordPress) - are more predictable and suitable for linking. For instance, page 10 in the pagination will always contain the same entries, capturing entries 901-1000. Looking at the 30th and final page, we can see we're just dozens of pages short of 3,000. We'll get there early this week!
We hope that indexing of the site will become easier this way, but the main purpose is to enable people to catch up. █
