Very nice indeed.

Just a tip, you can run: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-rontarrant-github-io-gtkDcoding/o7tfo8nh05?form_factor=mobile

It will give you some info about stats and compression of images to make it load faster.

Matheus.

Thanks, Matheus. I didn't know about that site. Good info.

Considering my TODO list (and the one my wife is assembling for me now that she's retired, too) it could be a very (very, very) long time before I get around to doing anything to speed up page loading on (I'm assuming) a mobile device. I make this assumption because it loads so fast on my desktop that it blows my hair back... what's left of it (hair, that is). Sorry about that.

The main thrust over the last three months has been to find a way to keep the blog available without a custom URL and without Jekyll (which seems to need updating every fifteen minutes and has become so much of a pain in the a** I just can't deal with it any longer.) It didn't take three months to rewrite the site, but it _did_ take that long to find a way to avoid rewriting it from scratch while keeping all the original functionality of the site.

Over the next year, we're gearing up to buy a house (our first!) so everything else will be taking a back seat (although, spare moments here and there may find me back behind the keyboard now and then.)

Thanks for the input, mate. It's much appreciated.

Hello,

here is a version of your blog still using Jekyll, this was mostly an educational step for me to how hard it is.

i will keep it for some time.
