Was chatting with Noam yesterday about static sites vs WordPress sites and it reminded me that this site existed and needed some love.

The biggest point of friction with posting here has always been creating the file for a new post…getting the right folder, the frontmatter format, the slug. It’s a small thing, but enough to keep me from posting for a long time. That, and the fact that I’ve been busy adding daily photos on mutelife instead.

Anyway, I ended up creating a slash command for Claude Code that lets me spin up a new post with the right structure in seconds. No more excuses. It works like so:

/new-post New post title goes here

It then walks me through a few questions to set up the file. It asks whether the post has photos, which tags to use, and automatically generates most frontmatter for me.

Oh, also tidied up a couple of things around the site that were out of place.
