title: April 21st, 2024 date: 2024-04-21, 10:24:06 -07:00 section: journal excerpt: A log of some blog coding that I did, including more Frames support, canonical links, article and code filtered listing pages, and this excerpt field.#

Going through some open tabs and made a bunch of updates. Now took myself to the coffee shop to work on some blog coding.

Custom Frames Support

I added [[Farcaster Frames]] support to the site, using just default settings similar to what is already inserted into page headers for [[OpenGraph]].

Using the [[Ghost]] page as an example, I'm modifying the head template so that I can put in custom frame data per notes page.

frame:
  image: /assets/2024/ghost_logo_black.jpg
  image-aspect-ratio: "1:1"
  button2:
    label: "Github"
    action: "link"
    target: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost
  button1:
    label: "Home"
    action: "link"
    target: "https://ghost.org"

[[Obsidian]] doesn't support these kind of nested header properties, so I need to do it in source code view.

Yes, there would be some way to create this in a way that loops through a button array.

Canonical Link

I take notes on articles. I keep a local copy of the article and capture when it was published, who the author was, and usually clip some quotes and make some comments of my own.

I want people to go read the original! And I don't want to "steal" search traffic or attention from the original. In fact, I want to boost it! Reading Wikipedia on the canonical link, this not really what it's meant for.

Regardless, adding some header meta data. This is the part of thinking for [[Community Search Engine]] that has to happen.

Articles Page

Turns out I had an unfinished articles page! Fixed a couple of things with it, including getting year sorting done correctly. Design of it still needs a lot of work.

Code Page

Let's make a page with all the notes that have a code repository / git link! Here's code.

Oh fun, of course I have some people entries, and if I have their Github profile filled out, they'll show up on this page.

There aren't that many entries on here because I have more in the old Logseq notes with github and git properties.

And separately, I'd like to capture my 1.4K starred repos on Github. The "signal" of me adding a notes page is stronger than "merely" starring on Github, but it should at least contribute to a personal search index (which again leads into [[Community Search Engine]] too).

Excerpt for Journals

This is a very long journal post! My RSS automated cross posting with [[Fedica]] would attempt to turn this into a very very long set of threaded posts.

I'll add an excerpt field which will get used in the RSS feed if it excepts.

{% raw %}
{% if post.excerpt %}
  {% assign description = post.excerpt %}
{% else %}
  {% assign description = post.content %}
{% endif %}
{% endraw %}
