Blog Update July 2025

Time for some fresh paint

1 Blog Updates

I decided to give the blog a long planned overhaul.

Let’s start with the different topics

2 Comments

I decided to enable comments via https://utteranc.es/. It seems the most lightweight approach to comments. Comments only work if you have a Github account. Bad for the non-techies. Good to keep the spamers away.

For any follow bloggers. Put the utterance section in the _metadata.yml in posts. To limit it to sites with content and not on the listing sites.

In addition, I use a small comments header to visually separate the comments.

<h2>Comments</h2>  
<p>Join the discussion below.</p>

Implementation is straightforward use

format:  
  html:  
    include-after-body: comments-header.html  
    comments:  
      utterances:  
        repo: dolind/dolind.github.io  
        issue-term: pathname  
        label: comment  
        theme: github-light

3 Blog theme

Going strong on coffee, I opted for

Real stories of building systems and leading teams, from quick espresso shots to slow pours.

4 RSS Feed

It was enabled before, but i did not have a button in the navbar. Now it is there.

5 Newsletter

Biggest update. I have a RSS based Newsletter. You can signup here:

I followed this guide: https://forbo7.github.io/forblog/posts/7_blog_subscriptions.html

Sadly, the layout is a bit off, I will fix that another time.
