These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don’t have a link. These are dual published off of my thoughts.waylonwalker.com site. It’s a fully dynamically rendered site 2000’s style. Posts are stored in a database and instantly available. Almost all of the posts were written in a small <textarea> field within a chrome extension that I built for it.

These posts are intended to in two ways. One, link building for the author. I hope that I give the people helping me out along the way just a little bit of a boost. Two, they serve as a permanant commented bookmark for me to search, and come back to later when I have forgotten where I have seen something.

I recently started streaming on twitch.tv/waylonwalker and it’s been a blast so far.

It all started with kedro/issues/606, Yetu called out for users of kedro to record themselves doing a walk through of their tutorials. I wanted to do this, but was really stuck at the fact that recording or editing somewhat polished vide is quite time consuming for me.

My introduction to twitch came from

I am starting to stream 3 days per week, before I start work in the morning. These streams will likely be me just talking through things I am already doing.

I create this blog with one person in mind, me.

This is not completely selfish, as there are likely many others out there that think similarly to me. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and varying levels of experience. In no way do you need to be an expert to create content others will benefit from.

I am as accurate as possible. I don’t know everything, and If I waited for that to happen I would never post, or write at such a high level no one else (including me) would ever want to read.

This is a post that may be a work in progress for awhile, Its a collections of thoughts on managing my blog, but could be translated into anythiung that is just a collection of markdown.

I am making another push in 2021 to get my content out in the world and meeting users where they are. See how I plan to execute.

My content is written in markdown, all markdown. I find that markdown does a really great job at getting out of the way and letting ideas flow onto the page. I am never fussing with fonts and formatting while physically writing posts. Not that I don’t spend way more time than I need to tweak these things on my own personal site where everything gets posted.

Much of what I create is inside of short articles that get posted to my personal site waylonwalker.com. These will get cross-posted to DEV, Jan 19, 2021 3 min read ❤ 2 💬 1

Generating an api for a blog is much simpler than one might expect with python.

fix missing data

One thing we all dread is mundane work of getting started, and all the hoops it takes to get going. This year I want to post more often and I am taking some steps towards making it easier for myself to just get started.

When I start a new post I need to cd into my blog directory, start neovim in a markdown file with a clever name, copy some frontmatter boilerplate, update the post date, add tags, a description, and a cover.

This is episode 1 of the Waylon Walker Audio experience, posts from waylonwalker.com{.hoverlink} in audio form.

So I have had this idea for awhile to add audio to my blog posts. The idea partly comes from the aws blog, if you have ever been on their blog you will have noticed that they have a voiced by amazon polly section.

Honestly I don’t know this is all new to me and I dont have much to go off of. For now its a test that may or may not work out.

I wanted a super simple way to cross-link blog posts that require as little effort as possible, yet still looks good in vanilla markdown in GitHub. I have been using a snippet that puts HTML into the markdown. While this works, it’s more manual/difficult for me does not look the best, and does not read well as

The new card should be fully automated to expand with title, description, and cover image. Bonus if I am able to attach a comment behind it.

If you can call it a card 🤣. This card was just an image wrapped in an anchor tag and a paragraph tag. I found this was the most consistent way to get an image narrower and centered in both GitHub and dev.to.
