BlogMore v1.11.0 I was going to call this one "Yet more BlogMore" but I think, even after two posts with that naming scheme, the "...more BlogMore" thing has had its day. But here I am: another day, another wee change...

Still messing with BlogMore, my experimental #SSG that I'm building for my own blog.

Even more BlogMore While the additions have, for sure, slowed down, I'm still tinkering away with BlogMore. Recent changes stem from the fact that someone else has been mad enough to want to experiment with rebuilding t...

You get what you pay for Just recently I saw a post go past on Mastodon, complaining about the author's perception that there was a breakdown of trust in the FOSS world, in respect to the use of AI to work on FOSS projects, o...

Some thoughts about people's reaction to AI creeping into FOSS projects.

More BlogMore I've just released v1.7.0 of BlogMore, my ongoing experiment with GitHub Copilot. Since the last release I wrote about I've made a couple of cosmetic changes, and also addressed a couple of bugs.

I've written a post about some new changes I've made to BlogMore, the static site generator I'm experimenting with. blog.davep.org/2026/03/07/m...

Just want to say: as some random outsider who has no involvement with this at all... this low-poly rat business has been a constant source of amusement and happiness for me this week.

Thank you making all this appear in my timeline.

Now I know it exists and what its provenance and motivation is I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing where it goes. When I get a moment I want to start moving some of my other projects over (and, of course, will raise any issues that look in scope).

Love how clean the default styling is.

I also imagine it's tricky to write it for an audience who have *zero* context to go on.

If my current comprehension of what's going on is even close to correct I'm super grateful that you did this, and created Zensical. Last night's experiment was so straightforward!

Cool! Just so you know: I never for a moment felt anything was trying to sell me anything, it was just more a case of the whole thing being a surprise with no real context, and even the post (back when I read it a couple or so week back) left me confused about who/where/why/how, etc.

Zensical After first getting involved with Textual, back in 2022, I became acquainted with MkDocs/mkdocs-material. It was being used for the (then still being written) Textual docs, and I really liked how they...

Wee blog post about my initial dip into trying out Zensical as a replacement for MkDocs.

BlogMore v1.5.0 Since switching over on the 19th of last month I've been making lots of changes to BlogMore. While there's been a good few bug fixes and QoL changes, I've also been adding new features that I've found...

BlogMore has now made it to v1.5.0; since I started this wee #AI experiment it's been coming along quite nicely and s handling my blogs really well.

I've moved my blog over to a new engine, one that is the result of another experiment which I'll write about soon.

I think it's all working fine.
