Remove/clean up any unnecessary files!

[paperdigits]

@patdavid When you find a free minute, if you would please remove any files that you know can safely be removed, that'd be a big help in trying to consolidate the templates.

Without digging too deep, some suggested files to remove would be:

/templates/test.hbt
/templates/article.hbt.old
build-gitlab.js (I don't know what this does, but it is very similar to index.js)

[patdavid]

Will do!

The build-gitlab.js was for building on the runners at gitlab (using .gitlab-ci.yml). It's redundant here I think, and should be removed (along with .gitlab-ci.yml).

I'll start cleaning stuff out as I go through the files again. :)

Awesome, thanks!

I'd like to clean and combine to a point where:

• there are a handful of meaningful templates
• we are not repeating the head and meta elements all over the place
• merge all style.css files into larger, more meaningful stylesheets
• start using Sass if that's OK with you.

This things should make contributing to the site much easier for people who have never see the code and easier to maintain going forward.

Edit: Looks like the index.css files in blog are not loaded at all.

Those are for loading any local CSS that might be wanted for those particular posts. I suppose we could include the stylesheet in the markdown as well, but I started it this way to keep the markdown at least a little cleaner. :)

[paperdigits]

Why not just write it in the main stylesheet?

Usually because it may be one-off styles just for that post for some reason, and I didn't want to pollute other posts with them.

[paperdigits]

Fair enough. Is that for articles, blog, or articles & blog?

I think I had originally intended for it to be articles + blogposts. I realize they're hardly used... :)

[paperdigits]

We could do clever solution, like adding the value of the post's slug as a class to the main element wrapping the post's article, that way you could just add .some-blog-slug-value to the style sheet, then style away.

[patdavid]

Does this now move to the https://github.com/pixlsus/website/issues/32 thread on refactoring the styles.scss?

[paperdigits]

Yes indeed it does!
