Any suggestions and feedback is welcome. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added to the site.

Edit 1: per request I've increased the font size in articles to make them easier to read.

@funkmunki you have a bunch of interesting articles on your side and I'll be re-visiting surely!
One suggestion: Could you perhaps increase your base font size a bit? I believe it would be easier to read your articles this way.
And could you please check the links to the self-hosted assets here:
https://selfhostit.dev/front-matter-cms/.
Would be very interested in Front Matter and your perspective on it.

Cheers and thanks for sharing so many interesting topics with us!

Edit: amended @funkmunki's handle

I will definitely do both of those things. Thank you for pointing that out! When my previous server crapped out on me and I migrated over I had to redo a bunch of the images and I must have missed some. Let me know if you find anymore that are broken.

Also, I will soon be editing some of the older basic articles to include actual reviews like the newer ones. My old server didn't allow me to spin things up as easily as my current one in Proxmox does. With my current setup it's much easier to spin something up, play around with it, do a review, and delete it when I'm done.

Edit: I've fixed both of those things. Let me know if that font size is better.

Apologies, your reply slipped through somehow. Thanks for fixing the links an dincreasing the font size - now it's perfect!
Will definitvely be visting your blog regularly!

Thanks! Now I just need to kick Reddit to the curb.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice! I've already found a couple of things I'm interested in spinning up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I'll be turning the old articles into actual reviews over time. It's just a slow process doing it alone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OMG thank you so much : )

What CMS is your website created with? I like it!

Ghost. I've been using it for a while and it's definitely my favorite out of everything I've tried.
