Adds image thumbnails and automatically extracts an excerpt
from each blog post to improve visual engagement and content
overview. Modifies HTML templates to display thumbnails next to
post titles and includes "read more" links. Adjusts pagination
links for consistent relative paths and corrects the directory
structure for the first blog page. Updates dependencies to include
Pillow for image processing.
Relates to blog UI improvements.
Introduces a static blog generation feature leveraging markdown
for content files and template rendering for HTML output.
Imports new dependencies for YAML parsing and markdown conversion.
Enhances site structure by copy-assets function to ensure non-markdown
contents like images are maintained.
Modifies templates for relative asset path resolution to allow
correct linking of stylesheets and images.
Helps in managing content workflow by auto-generating paginated
lists and individual post pages, improving content accessibility.
Removed Flask from the requirements.txt file as it is no longer needed for the project dependencies. This helps to streamline the dependency management and reduces potential security vulnerabilities that come with maintaining unnecessary packages.
Refactored the website to serve dynamic content using Flask, replacing static HTML pages. This allows for the centralized management of service data through a JSON file. Optimizations include:
- Added a .gitignore file to exclude Python and Flask-specific temporary files.
- Migrated static assets into an organized directory structure to facilitate Flask's static file serving.
- Removed redundant HTML files and created Flask template versions with dynamic content rendering.
- Introduced Caddy server configuration for the new Flask architecture, including headers for security and CORS policy, and reverse proxy settings for route handling.
With these changes, website maintenance and updates are simplified, allowing for service information to be updated in a single location (`services.json`), which then propagates to the user-facing pages automatically.
