I've hit this a few times where I want to get to docs so I take whatever
my urlbar gives me and strip out the actual page so I can get to the
root, however that's a 404.
This introduces a super easy way to redirect, which could be handy in
the future as docs get rewritten.
I would much rather do this with a real htaccess file or even just
handle 404s gracefully, but that's not currently an option with GitHub
pages (since we generate our own and don't use a custom domain).
* All posts under blog/
* Index @ blog/index.html
* Only show excerpt on index with "continue reading" link
* Date, name formatting improvements (better for humans)
It could probably still use some style tweaks but I feel better about
it.
Moving forward, we'll use the "excerpt" feature of Jekyll with the
default separator, which is just 2 newlines. So the first paragraph will
be special. Alternatively you can specify excerpt, but we'll want to fix
the layout so that gets added in.
