The Hidden Blog

As it turns out, I do have a hostname.

Sharing photos on my blog

Published on May 04, 2025

Over the past weeks I silently rebuild this blog, still in Kirby but now without the theme I originally bought when I switched to Kirby.

The goal was to simplify the setup so it is much easier to add new features. The first one is the dedicated Photos section which is now also linked in the navigation bar. I'll use this to have a centralized place where I can just upload some photos, later I'll work on making this automatically get posted on Mastodon, and maybe Bluesky (POSSE!).

I'm pretty happy how the Exif display turned out, I got inspired by Sam Becker's photo blog project, but went with a much simpler version and some Kirby hooks that store the Exif information (What a fragmented format!) in the Kirby metadata based on the Blueprint.

While doing that I also organized my feed (No worries, redirects are in place). The new feeds can be found in the header, or here:
