That's pretty cool. I've recently started a little blog thing myself too. It's pretty shit but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Looking at other blogs certainly help as well.

Blog: https://liluzibird.github.io

Rss feed: https://liluzibird.github.io/index.xml

Edit: hmm my rss feed is cut off for some reason. Might need to find a way to fix that.

Interesting posts you have there I also have also tired github.io pages (https://jackdavies.github.io) I've had it rattling around for a while post to it now and again. I want to use it more (still learning how to use its quite basic and probably broken in places) I've got some more projects/posts I want to put on it but currently updating the whole thing to separate posts/projects and improve the overall look and feel. Often struggle with time and motivation to work on it though

I'll definitely follow up with yours as well. Us small time bloggers need to keep it tight. Do you have an rss link for your blog?

Edit: ahh found it, it's at the bottom.

Thanks. It's a shame personal blogs are dieing off, although I have seen a bit if a resurgence of them since github io pages have been a thing. I have also found that people use mastodon a lot to microblog/provide updates to new posts on their personal sites so there is hope I'VE updated the RSS link so it's at the top as well so its easier to find

For some reason, my rss feed cuts off and I'm having issues trying to make it put out my full blog.

[–] JackDavies@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's strange, are you using Hugo to generate the site? I am currently using jekyll, it seems to put the full post into RSS content field and the summary text used on the home page in the RSS summary field. I have tried Hugo in the past and might switch to it, haven't tested its RSS generation though

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yes I'm using a cool template I found. I didn't want to spend any more time than I already did as I just wanted to jump straight in snd start blogging.
