Amazing. You're doing amazing things. My normal caveat... don't get lost in there :)

OK with me.

Recategorized posts and started cleanup in 0ff61be.
Added textlint and went through another big round of cleanup in 40f12c4.
Set up a frontmatter layout for post feature images that includes alt text, captions, and credits and started using it in f8841feāmade it through all posts in 9ba1bbf. (This post is a good example, source here.)
from ddev.com.
Improvements around blog imagery:
- Posts without images have a generic fallback thumbnail for their cards.
- Updated the feature images for this post and this post, both of which were too tall and either creepy or underwhelming. Tried to keep it playful and semi-professional.
- I refactored the project to use Astroās new Content Collections, which are really nice! Currently blog feature images donāt require alt text, but thatās something I can require going forward once I add it to existing posts. (The frontmatter gets validated, which is a lovely thing!)
- Feature image frontmatter can include an optional
shadow: true
andhide: true
, where a drop shadow can prevent some images from visually floating like this one, and in more rare cases the feature image can be hidden when itās redundant as seen in several video posts like this.
If anybody wants to write descriptive alt text for feature images and/or within post content, thatād be a big help toward something more accessible! Iāll plan on coming back to this soon, though.

Yes, absolutely.

Just drop it, thanks.

I was definitely worried about that and tried to hint. There are so many (not by me) that were just developed for "SEO" or whatever, and don't have any real value unless it's for that, which I don't much care about. Please open an issue that will point to a list of content and I can make decisions about deletion.

Congrats and thanks. I think you made right decision. Taking on infinite editing to fix the past is too much work for little reward.

Removed old blog post newsletter CTAs with minimal impact on surrounding copy in 2cb2d6b.
In the future, we could have a footer thatās common to all blog posts for things like newsletter signups or any pertinent, rotating promotional info.

š Iāll get lost so readers donāt have to!

Current categories in use:
Most posts are in āDDEVā, which is redundant at this point. Very few otherwise live in each remaining category so things are pretty lopsided. āUncategorizedā isnāt useful for anyone outside of maybe a pre-publishing workflow.
Iād propose the following categories instead, and reorganizing to balance things out:
- Announcements (releases, organization news, etc.)
- Community (events, third-party developments, etc.)
- DevOps (workflows, infrastructure, etc.)
- Performance (benchmarking, tips, etc.)
- Guides (how-to style posts)

Looking good!

Made great progress on image handling today, with (optimized, consistently-named) images now part of the repository and loaded on-page more responsibly. Also re-added videos that got wiped out in the Markdown conversion, and added a Videos category as a resultāfelt right since thereās good content in these and a lot of people like learning that way: https://ddev.m7n.io/blog/category/videos
from ddev.com.
Since the post structure is a little different and the categories are not obvious, Iām keeping the readme up to date with future publishing guidance: https://github.com/drud/ddev.com-front-end#adding-new-content

@rfay Can we abolish āDDEVā as a blog post author until the product itself becomes sentient? The blog is written by people, so we might as well consistently identify whoās writing.
There are only five of these posts, and all but one start with a bio that could easily move to an author page:
- 2x Benni Mack
- 1x Sergey Fayngold
- 1x Dennis Ameling
- 1x ?? ā š¤·āāļøš»

Thanks! Do you happen to know who wrote this one?

Is the 2018 version still there? We could drop this one and I'd be fine with it. But I'd bet it was written by Elli Ludwigson, eludwigson.

Is the 2018 version still there?
Iām not sure how to answer that, but these are Elliās other posts: https://ddev.m7n.io/blog/author/elli-ludwigson
2018 was a busy year for posts, many of which extoll the virtues of onboarding time with DDEV. 2018ās posts span these pages:

Please let me know if I should drop the post or attribute it to Elli Ludwigson.

I don't think we need to keep anything for historical reasons; the reason for this content to exist is mostly where it is a more narrative presentation, as opposed to the docs, where things need to be largely prescriptive.
The more things that are duplicates of the docs, the more things have to be maintained in multiple places.

I should have asked before migrating and recategorizing and editing everything. š¢
Are you saying we should delete most of these posts? If not, which ones specifically?

Created an issue and assigned you, @rfay: https://github.com/orgs/ddev/projects/3?pane=issue&itemId=20593590
from ddev.com.
Decided against going back and re-editing posts to use the same language conventions as the docs. Everythingās pretty well cleaned up and recategorized so Iām going to call this finished. If anyone wants to further scrutinize content or formatting, they can have at it!
