I've been revamping this website and my internet presence. For most of my career I didn't care if anyone found my projects or my writing. Unsurprisingly, this website has been buried (maybe rightly so!)
I assumed that if you made a website that Google would index it. This, it turns out, isn't quite true (lol).
So I've been doing some house cleaning on this little corner of the internet.
- Google Search Console
- Made a sitemap.xml using a pelican plugin
- Setup https. I don't really care but there's a button you can click on GitHub Pages settings so at least it's easy.
- Got crawled and indexed
- I need a "canonical" urls. I like the classic
www.
so I'm sticking with that.
- Tracking
- Google deprecated Google Analytics so...I
- Setup umami tracking and that's going great
- Linking here from LinkedIn
- I own the distribution and content! The medium is the message right?
- Social Media
- Removed links to Twitter
- Setup Mastodon (I'm still trying to get that green verified box)
- Threads
- Links
- Updating links section to focus on personal websites and meetups
