The same, but different

Last updated on Jun 12, 2021 1 min read R

“Update the publications on my website” was an item on my to-do list for at least the past three months. When I finally sat down to check this item off my list, two problems emerged:

  1. I did not remember any of the details of how the site actually functioned.

  2. The site was apparently no longer functioning.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon this post by Alison Hill. Rather than finding the specific error that would not allow my site to build, I thought it would be easier to just start over. You are now reading the result! Keen Platt observers might notice that this new website is exactly the same as the old website. Nothing could be further from the truth. I changed the color scheme, and, of course, I added those two publications that started this whole process.
