I’ve written so much about images and image optimization and yet the reality is I still have no clue exactly how it works.

I’ve written a bunch of words on this site about programming stuff in Astro, but there are bunches of other things that can be scripted too.

So there I was, playing with eleventy-img to find a way to generate responsive images for image links in markdown files, when Christian Ohanaja did the work for me and created the Astro Remark Eleventy Image plugin.

In what feels like a lifetime ago, I had a podcast called Pocket Sized Podcast, talking about iOS apps and devices, mostly.

As I mentioned in my last post, I want to use standard markdown (text only, no ability to use components) for Friends with Brews episodes so that I can use Astro’s ability to render full post body content of each episode in the RSS feed.

I’ve talked a lot about image optimization and RSS feed handling with Astro.

Earlier today I posted about the new compiledContent() property for use in Astro RSS.

It’s been awhile and I have lots of news, but just a short one today: Astro now supports full RSS feed content if you use md files for your content.

I promised an article about whether or not Mastodon and the Fediverse were going to solve all our problems and make us happy humans with a long species survival probability, but work and other tech projects have intervened.

A good system should never make you remember its implementation details in order to use.

Peter and I decided a little while ago to convert the Friends with Beers podcast to Friends with Brews podcast.

I think I mentioned in my Responsive Image Rabbit Hole Series that I have been building an Astro version of the Friends with Beer website, and it’s finally live!

A couple days ago, I posted some responsive image and Astro Image science experiments.

It’s been a few days since I’ve written anything, and I’m going to make my tardiness up to you with some detailed science experiments.

In installment 1 of this responsive image topic, I talked about how the modern approach to giving site visitors the best combination of image file size and image quality comes down to generating a bunch of versions of the image and letting the browser cho…

Contents Why image optimization?

One of the patterns you’ll see frequently in Astro is using the JavaScript array map function.

This is a blog.

As I mentioned in Part 1 of this installment, while trying to modify my site RSS feed to contain the full body of each post in my feed items, I ran into an inconvenient truth about how MDX exposes its file content as a component and how I could not use th…

The first Astro site I put on the web was Siracusa Says, which went live on August 7th.

The last time I posted to my site was on February 24th.
