Still Alive: A Return to the Blog After a Year

An Update
I’ve started to work on my blog, as well as my Wifi thermometer project, again. So far, I plan to use it in my compost outdoors, maybe in my indoor compost, and possibly in my beehives. It’s a simple project, a test for if I can write a decent tutorial, and a good stepping stone to kick off my dev blog. I may play around with other projects during its development, but have numerous ideas for projects after.
Blog Updates
I have completely changed my blog layout, chosen a new theme and modified it. I chose Just the docs, but it was missing post functionality. I shamelessly pulled in some elements from my previous theme, Millennial. I have added the ability to show blog posts in the sidebar. I also added watermarks to my photos. Some of the new elements work, and some of the old elements no longer work - it’s still a work in progress. I don’t like the blog to take up most of my project time, but it has.
Old Layout 
New Layout 
I’ve chosen to include a projects directory, too. I’ve added my abandoned game engine, the wifi thermometer, and the blog. I may find a way to categorize my blog posts with tags to create a tutorial directory. I’m also looking for a way to embedded parts of blog posts into pages.
