Labarum: It's about Time

This release is mostly centered around cleaning up different edge cases in the theme. This the first time in several point releases where I’ve made a change to the HTML structure. The release before (V1.3.07) was an addition to the theme that we won’t be seeing on Micro.blog until we update Hugo. I feel a bit of accomplishment in the fact that I didn’t see a need to.

Here are all the changes from the README.md that I haven’t blogged about.

v1.3.08

  • Adjust fonts
  • Make the a.no-decoration more accessible by changing contrast
  • Add FloatLeft css class
  • Add ::selection background color to match up with theme
  • Add scrolling for debug output
  • Change the title and aria-label for microposts to include the date and time. In the local copy of Hugo, an empty string title is automatically added.
  • Add styling to the top of the list.html to make it stand out.
  • Change the date format for the time used for published times.
  • Rearrange reply order options to be Micro.blog, Mastodon, and then email
  • Add articleSection to list of classes for category tags on a post
  • Update README.md on previous releases

v1.3.07

v1.3.06

  • Change the li marker color to --text-alt in order to match header color
  • Change padding of body to utilize more space on smaller screens
  • add text-shadow to a.no-decoration
  • Change logic for the debug flags
  • Create stub for theme example folder
  • Temporarily add the rsvp shortcode to theme to remove extra whitespace when post is cross posted to mastodon

Technical Writing Chat with Ally Sassman | James' Coffee Blog

This is the first interview in Technical Writing Chats, a series where I speak with technical writers about their day-to-day role and how they got started in their career. Today's interview is with Ally Sassman, a Senior Technical Writer at New Relic. I sincerely hope you enjoy!

This is the first post in James' series.

I'm hoping to pick up a couple tips throughout the series to improve the writing that I do on my blog.

I should be working but all I can think about is formatting the time stamps for my blog theme to make sure they are parsed properly

I just sent several blog posts to my test blog the last couple of days. πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

We should probably call it the micro.blog photo adventure.

I really enjoy the comedies with John Cena. They’re generally fun and light. I get to spend some time just sitting back and relaxing.

I’m not looking for depth; those movies are also available if I want them.

If you’ve seen this movie, then you’ve seen it a dozen times. There are a couple twist and turns but we all know what’s going to happen from the trailers and the first 10 minutes of the film.

I have no problems with that!

Here’s the trailer that pretty much sums it up.
