Site map

(The old-school kind.)

It doesn’t look much like a map at present, alas.
Brace for the future where it will (to at least some extent).

Undated

General pages:

Home page
About me (Chris Morgan)
Site preferences (and what they all mean)
Site map (that’s this page)
Subscribe (/*.feed, individual tag feeds, or email on request)

Tag pages:

{5} Meta (stuff about this site)
- {2} Meta also (things about, but not limited to, this site)
- {3} Meta only (things about this site that are unlikely to be generally applicable)
{7} Dev (elopment, of software)
- {7} Web
  - {0} HTML
  - {2} CSS
  - {0} JS (JavaScript)
  - {3} Syndication formats
    - {1} Atom
    - {3} RSS (Really Saddening Syndication, probably)
  - {1} Caddy (the HTTP server I’m currently using)
- {0} Rust
{3} Practices (things that I do or use)
{1} Opinions (that I hold)

More pages that I haven’t yet made a good place in this site map for:

My ~/.config/git/config
My ~/.XCompose (I would hate to be without my Compose key.)
My GenAI/LLM usage (negligible to non-existent)
My Caddyfile

Dated and published

2026-05-08: I’ve banned query strings
2026-05-08: Making my new website: under construction; poke, prod and play

Started but not complete

Drafts in various stages of completion. Dates may be nominal.

2026-04-30: <content:encoded> is ridiculous (It’s a never-approved draft of an extension to a long-dead branch of RSS history, used mostly to solve a non-existent problem that it doesn’t even solve.)
2026-04-20: Interpolating between themes in CSS (color-mix(), var(), calc(), pow(), min()… some pretty cool possibilities arise.)
2026-04-10: Atom is better than RSS, in ways that matter (e.g. some perfectly reasonable titles can’t be reliably encoded in RSS)
2026-02-03: A few ways of specifying per-theme colours in only CSS (① write it all out; ② use palette variables; ③ a tricksy color-mix() shenanigan; ④ light-dark(); ⑤ if(); ⑥ a tricksy animation shenanigan)
2021-07-04: Exactly what was silly about each version of RSS (early draft with lots of sordid RSS history, most of which no longer matters, but it shows what a mess it is, and hints at why you should prefer Atom)

Older, archived content

In 2026, I archived my old website, which includes some blog posts from 2013–2022.

Here’s the full list. I’ve marked a few of my favourites.
