New Site Redesign

Over the past week I’ve been fighting an infection that was draining all of my energy, rendering me incapable of working out¹. This left me with some extra time on my hands to address that this site design has become boring to me and drastically needed a makeover! While reviewing different templates for the Jekyll static site generator, I eventually returned to the awesome page designer Michael Rose for his new Minimal Mistakes Theme.

Migrating my articles from the old template to the new template was completed in a couple of hours, but then the obsessive compulsive detailed oriented aspects of a site redesign became overwhelming and took a couple more nights to complete the final touches that would make it worthy for viewing by the two people that actually look at this site². Everything functions as expected, but there still may be some formatting issues on a couple of articles that need to be corrected, in addition some article YAML changes to ensure that tags and categories are working.

I know this is not really interesting, but I hope the site change will inspire some new content outside of race reports.

Footnotes

1. Not being able to exercise should be a good thing during the triathlon off-season, but it seems more detrimental to my mind and general wellbeing than expected. ↩

2. Thanks Mom and Dad! ↩
