Previous Versions

Added new blog post looking at Docker Multi-Stage builds in more detail.

There's an amount of duplicated code within the pages of this site, e.g. the footer. To reduce this code duplication I've created a very simple componentized framework for static sites called scaffss the repo for which can be found here. The are no actual changes to this site in this update, I've just updated the code and build process to use scaffss and refactor some of the simple duplicated code. Specifcally the footer and header.

Added favicon to the site.

Small tweaks to the avatar image of me on the home/hello/index page.

Adding a new blog post for building and running a .NET console app in Docker.

• Fixed errors in text on this page: dates and formatting
• Added titles to those releases missing them
• Formatted release titles differently, to stand out from the release description text

Haven't updated the part of the homepage about my current job for a while, so doing that.

The Versioning link in the footer on blog pages was incorrect. It had been copied from other pages so was linking to a versioning.html file within the same directory. This isn't where the Versioning page exists, it exists a folder up relative to the blog pages. Updated to be the correct link.

• Removed the links to previous site versions within this Previous Versions page and deleted the previous version files. Maintaining multiple versions of the site was starting to become cumbersome and wasn't really adding any value since each version is tagged in github. So it's still possible to download and view previous versions of this site from github.
• Improved the file structure by moving the images into an "img" folder.

Added a blog section to the site and a first blog post about running a .NET console app via Docker.

Added a last updated date to the page footers.

• Updated the year string in the footer, changing it from a hardcoded string to using JS to dynamic display the current year. This way I won't need to remember to update a hardcoded string every year.
• Added Google Analytics tracking to all pages of the site so I can see if anyone ever actually looks at it.

Added new content to the site:

• Page explaining how the versioning works.
• This website included in the Projects page (as a project that I've done/am working on), along with a link to the Previous Versions page.
• The Previous Versions page which lists all the previous versions (and current version) of this website. Providing details of: version deployment date, what was included in the version and a link that takes you to that specfic version of the website.

The mobile layout/styling was not being used on mobile devices, the website was defaulting to the desktop styling on mobile devices instead. Fixed by including viewport, width=device-width, initial-scale=1 in the head of every page.

Fixed a bug: The file name for the github logo on the Other Me page was incorrect (differing by case, i.e. a case sensitivity issue).

The initial release of the website.
