Let's add tags to blog posts
</p>
<p>
Tags are a nice and easy way to organize posts without explicit search. In the simplest way, you have a list of tags in posts, and each tag links to a page with all posts having the corresponding tag. It is also helpful to have a page with all tags available in the blog. And, of course, I don't want to maintain the list of tags manually.
<ahref="https://imagemagick.org">Imagemagick</a> is a ffmpeg of the image world. You can do a lot of fun things with it. For example you can take a picture, cut corners on it, place it on top of another image, add some text and get final result. So it is looks like a good tool for making previews from code.
Htmlize works poorly with headless publishing. It lacks extensibility, including features like line numbers, a copy button, and the ability to highlight predefined parts of the code.

Let's add RSS feed to blog
</p>
<p>
RSS might seem like an outdated, marginal thing. But it still has at least one benefit—you can use an RSS feed as a sitemap for search engines. Plus, it's pretty geeky.

Blog post about publishing my blog with Org Mode
</p>
<p>
I'm neither proficient in Org Mode (further on "Org"), nor a good front-end engineer. I think that a simple solution is better than no solution. If you see a mistake, you can contact me via <ahref="mailto:iam@fidonode.me">iam@fidonode.me</a>.
Sometimes I think about the long journey I've made with keebs. In childhood, I had decent membrane keyboards, most of which had an ergonomic profile like the MS. Not sure if it somehow affected my taste because I started my career with the simplest, cheapest board and typed countless lines of code on such keebs. Then I heard about clickity-clack mechanical keyboards and decided to try one. It was a simple Chinese keeb with a thick metal body, double-shot caps, and Cherry Brown switches. A decent thing to annoy everyone around you. I think this purchase marked my dive into mech keebs
I'm not a geeky aficionado who thinks you can fix everything with a new keyboard, but I built a couple of them. I hope I've finally built the last one for quite some time….
