Still running this Shinobi site

I thought I'd give up on this Shinobi blog soon after I figured out what to do with my main, "normal" blog.

Well, I'm still deciding that, I guess, even though I have that Hugo site (https://passthejoe.net) on a new theme, and it — along with this site — on a new server (a VPS running AlmaLinux rather than a Raspberry Pi).

There's a simplicity to all of Bradley Taunt's static-site projects, even though he changes the theming on his own wruby (https://wruby.btxx.org) site (at https://btxx.org) pretty much weekly at this point. My favorite rendition was replaced a few days ago. Not sure why he changed that one, but designers will design, I guess.

But Shinobi (https://git.sr.ht/~bt/shinobi) is so simple from a design standpoint, there's not much you can do with it.

And I like posting with it.

As always, the site looks great on Android's Firefox browser. It doesn't look so great on Chrome in Android.

It looks better on a PC Web browser if you make the type bigger by holding down the ctrl key and rolling the mouse wheel, and then making the browser window smaller if you want smaller margins.

But all of that is optional. You can enjoy the Shinobi goodness however you wish.

And as always, it's a system designed for an RSS feed reader. My choice these days is Thunderbird, where RSS lives alongside your email accounts.
