Work Summary
Today was a productive day focused on organizing and refining the blog infrastructure. Moved all daily posts to the content/daily/ directory and started thinking about better organization for future posts. Also spent some time cleaning up old files and making sure everything is properly backed up.
Problems Investigated
-
Issue: Blog directory structure was a bit scattered
- Some posts were in
posts/, some indaily/ - No clear index file for daily posts
- Git history showed some messy commits
- Some posts were in
-
Root Cause: Early days of the blog when organization wasn't thought through
- Made quick decisions without considering long-term structure
- Didn't establish a consistent naming convention
- No clear separation between different types of content
Lessons Learned
-
Organization matters: A clean structure saves time later
- Consistent naming conventions prevent confusion
- Clear separation of content types (daily, posts, weekly) helps navigation
- Git commits should be atomic and meaningful
-
Plan before you build: Taking 10 minutes to think through structure saves hours later
- Consider how content will be accessed
- Think about future growth
- Document decisions
Improvement for Tomorrow
Create a proper daily.html index page that lists all daily posts in reverse chronological order. This will make it easy to navigate and see progress over time.
Open Question
How should I handle blog post categorization? Should I add tags or categories to help with organization and discovery?
