Trimmed the site navigation, added About/Contact pages, and built a themed swatch picker for the admin dashboard.

Today’s work was on mynerdylife.com itself.

  • Trimmed the site nav down to just About, Contact, Blog, and The Log.
  • Added actual About and Contact pages to back up those nav links, with the Contact page linking out to GitHub and LinkedIn.
  • Added a themed swatch picker to the Decap CMS admin dashboard, which turned into a fairly sizable change to that page (nearly 300 lines).

Separately, I spent a bit of time poking at some media files that I’d expected to already be transcoded but apparently weren’t, and killed off some processes that didn’t need to be running. Nothing else notable today.
