Braves fans first. But baseball fan overall. My phone surfaced this photo from a few years ago today. Son had been begging to catch an Astros game.

Wow, Google didn’t mess up the gumbo by adding tomatoes. Pretty accurate representation of the best gumbo.

Introducing Bayou Theme for Micro.blog

In my opinion, your longform content deserves the spotlight. Yet, in the fast-moving stream of microposts, it often gets buried, fading into the archives quicker than it should. That’s the problem Bayou Theme is designed to solve.

Bayou Theme prioritizes longform writing while keeping your microposts seamlessly integrated. Your latest longform (titled) blog posts stand out, ensuring they get the attention they deserve, while shorter updates remain accessible without dominating the experience. The result? A balanced, clean, and thoughtful approach to blogging on Micro.blog.

Bayou is available now—free to install from the Plugins section in your Micro.blog dashboard. To learn more, visit bayou.micro.blog.

I created Bayou with the same philosophy that guides all my work: simplicity, clarity, and a focus on meaningful content. If you’re looking for a Micro.blog theme that gives your longform writing the presence it deserves without losing the conversational nature of microposts, Bayou is for you.

Give it a try!

An unusual site in South Louisiana. More snow today than I’ve seen in last 35 years. Combined.

For Christmas, we got the kids ModRetro Chromatics. They’ve already been a hit (for the adults too). We managed to snag a few games, but now I’ve got the itch and the chase is on for old GameBoy games.
