The fast rendering blog

The fast rendering blog is now live. In the end I was able to get the rendering down to around around 15 seconds for the entire 15 years worth of content. It‘s about 26000 files in total. These are the main features: Renders fast (~15 secs) and the build takes up way less space (~500M). Sleek new design, removed the content boxes, swapping them out for a design focussed on blog posts with supporting links and notes. Added the old newsletter posts back to the mix. Site header background images. The cool thing is the blog remembers the current active header image when a particular post is published, so when you look at old posts, they will look like how they were when they were first published. It‘s all controlled by your post frontmatter, and of course it‘s automatic if you use the render tool to create the content. There‘s also a top right image feature, which makes it really easy to add an image that appears in the top right of your post. Again just a frontmatter field you add to…
