What apps are you using for each service? Mine are:
She could spend her entire lifetime in a backyard garden. It is, without a doubt, something that “sparks joy.” I’m thinking it’s time to add some more raised beds like she’s been asking.
A Blue Bell and Dr. Pepper collab? Be still, my Texan heart.
I’m going to push out an update to the Tiny Theme for Micro.blog today that adds a few features. First, all posts (in the feed and on individual posts) include a CSS class that matches the category(ies) of that post. This will allow you to style individual posts differently based on the category. For example, you could format Microposts differently than Links which could different than Longform content or Images. I also added support for Microformats and a new paragraph class (.note) that allows for simple callouts in posts.
Happy Mother’s Day to these two.
Any watch lovers out there? I’m selling a Seiko 5 GMT SSK003 for $325 shipped US. It does have a scratch on the crystal (can live with it, buff it, or replace it). Box, papers, links, etc included.
A friend of mine has been sharing photos from their trip to Isla Mujeres which reminded me of when we went 9 years ago. I think it’s time we go back!
I’ve updated Tiny Theme for Micro.blog with a few quick changes & bug fixes. Improved blockquotes, fixed horizontal scroll bug, added accessibility improvements, improved link styling, added pagination to category pages, & fixed alt text for logo. You can upgrade to 1.0.5 on the plugins page.
Introducing the Tiny Theme for Micro.blog
Recently, I’ve been working on a new theme for Micro.blog for my personal use. Others have expressed interest in using it on their site, so I decided to make it available for anyone. I hope you enjoy the Tiny Theme.
Overview
My goal in making the theme was for it to be as functional as possible while also being lightweight and blazing fast. It doesn’t include any added scripts or custom fonts. On the CSS side, it’s fully responsive without size related media queries. In fact, the only media query used is for dark mode.
Tweaking the Design
You can easily tweak elements of the design by going to the Micro.blog Dashboard and navigating to Design → Edit CSS.
Compatibility
Support
If you have any problems with the Tiny Theme for Micro.blog, you can contact me for help. If you’re the Github type, you can also report stuff on the repo.
Get it now
You can install the theme directly from the Micro.blog plug-ins page (login required).
If you decide to install it on your blog, let me know in the comments.
I have a few things to finish, but my custom Micro.blog theme is nearly complete (see my blog). It has no added scripts, is fully responsive, the only media query is for dark mode, & it doesn’t load special fonts. Hopefully I can finish soon. I plan to make it available if there’s interest.
I’m getting close to wrapping up a simple theme design for Micro.blog (as seen on my blog). I need to tie off a few loose ends and work through (learn) what all needs to be done to make it easy-to-install for others.
First game of the year!
Watching my son’s tee ball game during some absolutely perfect weather today.
Spent a good portion of the day reprogramming non-smart door locks at our office. So that was fun.
For the third time, I’m returning to Micro.blog. I know, I know, indecisive, always chasing, can’t make up my mind. But perhaps it’s telling that I keep coming back to the same place? And of course, had to do a new theme.
I need a teleprompter app for iOS that supports:
That’s it! Every one I’ve tried attempts to be so much more and clutters the interface way too much.
Alright, had to rethink things again. Here is where I’ve landed for my current home and Lock Screen setup.
Playing in the rocks in Broken Bow.
I’m looking for a used iPad Pro 12.9” (with FaceID) with Magic Keyboard if anyone is interested in selling.
We just completed a long road trip, and one app that I found very valuable was Weather on the Way. Was very beneficial to know what to expect along the route.
Finished The Boys From Biloxi (Grisham has always been a comfort read for me) and just started The Lincoln Highway. I loved A Gentlemen in Moscow by Amor Towles, so I’m excited for this one.
We went for a nice family hike in Broken Bow today. Both kids were up for the adventure and handled it like pros.
We’re staying in a “tiny home” AirBnB for a couple nights. And let me just say, not a fan. Part of the negative is it’s too cold for the kids to play outside, but still not seeing the appeal.
Arkansas BBQ joint.
Does anyone know of a dash-mount (or portable) CarPlay screen that is not a custom Android device?
