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?
