Some changes here at projects, Part 2.
I recently undertook a task to clean up and optimize images here on Projects, both for size and content. Some of the images were simply enormous, and some were showing stuff not relevant to the task at hand. You don’t need to have 5MB of image downloaded just to show you my bench with a single part on it. It can be much smaller. I also wanted to name things with a more universal convention.
That has been, more or less, completed. There’s a few images hanging out in hamfest folders that could be touched again, but for the most part they’re fine. And a couple I missed in QA…
Enter part 2.
Flatpress has a plugin that allows the pages to present a set of metadata that makes it more friendly towards searching. I’ve decided to (slowly) go through the pages here, add descriptions and keywords, and hopefully make the site easier to find what you’re looking for. This is probably going to take a while, but you shouldn’t see any interruptions on the front end of the site. I’m going to be working forwards from 2021, with 2026 already fully metadata’d.
Thank you for visiting Projects. I hope you’ve found something of interest here.
Progress:
2026: Done
2025: Done, and found some missing images.
2024: Done, and found some missing images.
2023: Done, and found some missing images.
2022: Done
2021: Done
This project is pretty much done. I’m going to set the search engines loose on the site in the coming weeks, hopefully more links to the site should show up and provide easier searching.
