Revamping the blog

I never took the concept of blogging seriously, because for starters i don't have audience, and talking to nobody is what elliot alderson does, not me. but, i think it's for me to do the same.

i feel like a record of what i do is not something i'll look back and regret, worst case i'll take this down, or some posts of it (foreshadowing), and blogging for me is easy now.

i've recorded some marcos on emacs, and i am using the zap theme, and it works great out of the box and has everything i want, i might change the colors to a different palette somewhere down the road.

this is the code snippet if anybody wants to use

(defun insert-front-matter-template ()
  (interactive)
  (insert "+++\n")
  (insert "title = \"Insert template here\"\n")
  (insert (format "date = %s\n" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d")))
  (insert "[taxonomies]\n")
  (insert "tags=[]\n")
  (insert "+++\n"))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-f") #'insert-front-matter-template)
