I don't really know what to call this, so I'll just call it a blog update. Meta-information about the blog, and all that.
I was using a quick script written in Odin to get the Markdown-like syntax of my blog entries into the HTML for the website, which I had called jezup (the name comes from Mark and Jez from Peep Show, and up instead of down) to a new script written in Zig doing... essentially the same thing, but with less allocations. I'm really not that good at programming and don't do it enough, but I've gotten it done at least, if with a compromise. There are now five allocations in the program instead of the two that I wanted. Hey ho. Kmd, the new script, is short for kinda Markdown.
The good part is, that finally hyperlinks actually work - I hadn't implemented them in jezup, but they are in kmd.
Many of the files are in plain HTML files that are copied over (where there is Javascript or things that don't work well in the script) and the rest are in plaintext which is converted. The problem is, if I update the template file (as I just did for the header) it doesn't update the rest of the files. I'll need to figure out a way to do it.
