Much To-Do about Everything

Over the last few days I’ve focused my attention back to the website after a bit of a hiatus. Last night I decided to write a much-needed and stupid statement on AI usage and this website (spoiler alert - no AI ever) along with adding a slash page for blogroll. I also bit the bullet and added a link to the RSS feed. I was worried the feed wouldn’t work or looked bad, but I got the A-OKAY from my friend gracie_cat that everything looks good. So WOO! RSS feed is launched!

The one thing that I DO want to fix/add/change on the RSS feed is the ability to flag updated articles (especially a games thread) as UPDATED so they pop up at the top of the feed. I think I can do this with lastmod but I need to research how RSS feeds work a little more.

In the games section I want to add a Last Updated: tab to the header image, which seems trivial I just need to do it. Actually I found this article on LoopedLine talking about doing this the right way, using a gt the greater than operator.

For the blog roll page, I have a style and design in mind and I think the best way (the simple way) would be to serve the data from a data file. I have this dream that maybe I cna use Ninox to organize and add all the links to a new database and then export that database as an CSV, I’m going to investigate.
