## 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 in `daily/`
- No clear index file for daily posts
- Git history showed some messy commits
- **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?
