<h2>{{ .Title }}</h2>
<p>Ever since I've created the templated version of this site, something has felt off. Missing. I've realized what it is. The old alexscerba.com, or <a href="https://old.scerba.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">old.scerba.org</a> as it's now called, had a lot more content than just the blog. My thought with this new site is that most of the old, extra content is covered under the "Blog" page anyways which makes the other content redundant. I still feel that way, but I want some other use for this site. The "Gallery" page is supposed to give some of that, but I don't really have a good setup for that yet. Originally it was going to be a collection of every image on the blog, but I think a better goal is something more currated. Maybe there can be a toggle for showing all images or something with the default being currated. The gallery is a start for sure, but still not what I'm looking for.</p>
<p>Looking at some other's websites, like <a href="https://acsq.me" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ángel's website</a> has some fun pages like "library" and "friends." While cool, these in particular didn't feel like they fit for me. I don't read many books, and I don't have more than a couple friends with websites. Also, broadcasting websites isn't my favorite thing. I'd rather they be discovered organically through reading blog posts and other content. This was in the back of my mind for a few days as I thought up new pages. This morning, it hit me.</p>
<p>It's not a novel idea in the slightest. It's Ángel's library page but instead of books, it's internet links. Plenty of people do this, but I think this is something I should add. I often bookmark webpages I want to save only for them to disapear into the folder structure abyss. Also, without context, it's hard to remember why they were saved in the first place. I'll want to add descriptions and a way to sort them and have some high level categories, but these are some reasonable challenges I can tackle in my spare time.</p>
<p>For now, it will be called "Links." If there's a better name that comes up in the future, I'll have to set up a redirect. ETA is probably well into next year. There's a lot of gradual sifting and sorting that needs to happen. The base page should be up pretty soon though.</p>
