lennyshort.com and general web design stuff

So I have the new lennyshort.com design up and running now. It's been in the works since November, so it's a relief to have it up and done. I started out with just a basic HTML and CSS template, plus some basic "Hello World!" content from the original lennyshort.com website. From that I gradually put together a new Django project, grafted the content into it, and tweaked it until I was satisfied with the result. This last week or so I've been working on getting the blogging feature running, which I finished for the most part yesterday. I haven't made any blog posts yet, so that's something I'll have to do soon. I can do them through the admin interface, and I can use Markdown to make it look pretty and stuff. I used some AI agents to help me with the code, which saved a lot of time and frustration. Today I spent some time reading through some stuff about building Django + JavaScript projects on a site I found a few days ago. From there I found some "boilerplate" Django designs on GitHub that I might try to use in the future. There's so much stuff available online that it almost doesn't seem like its worth it to write basic HTML and CSS any more, as you can create some pretty slick looking web designs with a running backend baked in. A lot has changed since I first learned HTML in college. Website design and development has changed so much over the years I'm having to learn how to do it all over again.
