Oops, I broke links again

2024 November 26

Ok, I broke all the links in the blog again... But it is for a good cause, I swear!

So when I started configuring eleventy, at first I decided that I would put all the new posts in a new URI structure. But after reading a few blog posts about how cool people don't let URIs change, I decided that it was a dumb idea, and it would not save me work at all.

So I went back on the decision. All the wordpress-era posts will be back on archive/post-id, while the new posts will be on posts/date-title. It actually didn't give me any work, I just needed to edit the wordpress import script to include the post-id again, which was quick. And since I was doing that, I also fixed a bunch of smaller stuff:

  • Wrote a regex to convert all my image captions to HTML
  • Fixed the missing GUID in the RSS
  • Added navigation buttons to the top of the post

Well, that was fun. And me being annoyed at URLs was my excuse to no add new posts to the blog. I have to catch up with my game/anime reviews at least.
