I wanted to be able to setup custom layouts per post (or per page) on my Micro.blog site (which runs Hugo under the hood).
My hackish solution was to leverage the Categories feature to inject a body class into the page. From there, I can setup as many custom layouts as I want, based on the body tag.
If a Category is named “Layout-*” then whatever comes after “Layout-“ will be injected as a body tag.

The tools @manton has created for Photo Management here on Micro.blog are great. Alas, I’m super picky about photo management, and couldn’t help but give myself a tool to customize it all exactly how I want it.
My sync tool will create a post for each photo, a page for each gallery, and a Galleries page with a link to each. It also uploads a full-size photo to R2 to make available as a “full-sized download.”
The photo title, description, etc. is pulled from exif data that I set via Lightroom when I’m editing photos from a shoot.
Next up: working on the layout/theming of all the pages.

There are still some things about photo handling at Micro.blog that aren’t to my taste (I want full-size uploads available somewhere, for example), but Photo Collections and the robust API that @manton has put together should make it pretty easy to fill in those gaps for myself.

I’ve been playing with the Photo Collections feature that was recently added to micro.blog.
It took me a bit to get the hang of it, but after that it was easy to add a few photo shoots and an index page for them: thegreenshed.org/photoshoo…

After a multi-year experiment trying to self-host my blog I’m giving up and going back to micro.blog. While it was a fun side-project, the fact is that it got in the way of posting, and I’m tired of that. I don’t have the self-discipline to maintain a blog engine myself, so I’m not going to.
Warzel errs here in assuming that when people in MAGAworld make
declarative statements, and endorse or amplify the declarative statements
of others, they do so because they believe those statements to be true.
They don’t; nor do they believe or know them to be false. In my judgment, truth and falsehooddo not at any point enter the frame of
reference — such concepts are non-factors, and it is a category mistake
to invoke them.
In MAGAworld, declarative statements are not meant to convey
information about (as Wittgenstein would put it) what is the case.
Declarative statements serve as identity markers — they simultaneously
include and exclude, they simultaneously (a) consolidate the solidarity of
people who believe they have shared interests and (b) totally freak out
the libtards. That’s what they are for. They are not for conveying Facts,
Truth, Reality — nobody cares about that shit. (People who call themselves
Truth Seekers are being as ironic as it is possible to be.) Such
statements demarcate Inside from Outside in a way that delivers plenty of
lulz, and that is their entire function. In that sense only they
articulate a kind of dark gospel.
