Is it worth learning a basic knowledge of programming to make my experience on Micro.blog a little easier? I often feel well out of my depth with anything remotely ‘techy’ on here and would like to at least understand some of what is going on on a basic level.
@gr36 @BenSouthwood I agree, if you've got CSS you're 90% of the way there and HTML will get you the rest of the way. If you want to build custom themes, you'd need more.
@BenSouthwood Are you attending the Micro.Camp? @mandaris has a tech presentation there, (and has blogged about making a theme over at his site). It would be great to see a technical overview of Micro.Blog as a whole too. @manton
@odd @BenSouthwood I have been summoned!
The talk isn’t very technical. It’s more about design decisions. Would people like a video? I would be afraid that it would be too long. Maybe if I break it into parts and have it mimic the blog posts?
@mandaris However you’re comfortable, honestly. Even if I learn something basic that elevates my confidence I’ll be happy.
@BenSouthwood Just to mention @custom where especially the earlier posts have info about basic CSS and HTML and some tips about customising Micro.Blog. This is the very first post on the site: The address for your blog : custom.micro.blog/2019/05/3... . See also custom.micro.blog/archive/ 😀
