This post has a bunch of tags

Sometimes an article can be broad enough to touch many tags. Hey, how about some Latin to fill this post in a bit?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris auctor nec sapien vitae fringilla. Phasellus pulvinar, est eu efficitur efficitur, justo nulla cursus risus, eu accumsan nunc nisi nec nunc. Praesent id odio tristique, euismod ipsum a, tempus nisl. Phasellus sed lectus vestibulum, pharetra massa a, dictum mi.

Image Uploads

If you see a fancy car on your screen then that means image uploads now work. Woohoo!

I'm now spending more time working on the admin console which currently has just three sections: New Post, Posts, and Settings. Pretty simple, as it should be.

All the functionality is there, but there's a bunch of visual weirdness that needs to be ironed out still.

Current Status

If I had to give StupidBlog a version number right now I would probably call it v0.5.

The only major bug that I'm experiencing is my inability to upload images. Aside from that, it's mostly just style changes.

I'm pretty happy with the feed although I'm reconsidering the tag UI. Do I need them on the feed? Do they need to be colorful pills?

I also want to put some more thought into the single post view. It's as minimal as it gets right now, but it might be too minimal. I played with showing related posts, but it was too distracting from the primary post. I tried adding arrows so you can go to the next/previous post in order, but that seems like a dumb way to read a website so I'm still thinking.

Once the UI/UX is feeling good, I'll try tackling the Settings page in the admin console. My thought is that I could have a bunch of toggles that users can turn on/off to customize the look of their blog as well as some inputs where users can input their site name, tagline, and Google Analytics code.

Quote Post

"I tell my father’s story of the gambler who one day hears about a race with only one horse in it, so he bet the rent money. Halfway around the track the horse jumped over the fence and ran away.” - Howard Marks

I'm a sucker for a good quote. I'm also a sucker for a UI that displays them well so that's what I'm trying to figure out here.

Text Styles

I'm regular body copy.

I'm bold text and I mean business.

I'm italic text and I'm falling over

I'm an external hyperlink and I'm blue

I'm an internal hyperlink and I'm gray and underlined

I'm a blockquote. I'm probably a quote from some smartypants so you better be paying attention to me. All the text around this quote was written by a dummy so watch out who you listen to.

Am I missing any styles? Would be nice to have some sort of treatment for ticker symbols ($GOOG), but that might be over kill.

Short Post

Using the free version of Claude makes me feel like John Locke on that island. Every few hours I have to type "C O N T I N U E" into a machine.
