Could someone please help me figure out why my /photos page looks like its stuck on an old theme https://social.joshuapsteele.com/photos/
I’m only 33, so I’m obviously still working on my grand unified theory of human behavior. But, so far: “It’s all just tribes and vibes.” (“Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.” was already taken.)

Last day of being 32. Anything I should sneak in before I turn 33?
In God’s economy, the most important people are not the billionaire, the business owner, or even the blue-collar worker. Instead, the most important people are the widow, the orphan, and the immigrant. Which is to say, the poor and powerless. joshuapsteele.com/gods-econ…

Let’s say I wanted to move all the (Hugo) posts and pages on joshuapstelee.com from where they now reside on GitHub over to a Micro.Blog site. Is there a straightforward way to do that?
How should I structure my online presence?
How should I structure and manage my online presence? I’m looking for recommendations.
I’d like to prioritize “owning” my stuff and being able to easily post to and tinker with my website(s).
Recently, I migrated my main site, joshuapsteele.com, from WordPress to Hugo. It’s now hosted via GitHub Pages over at joshuapsteele.github.io. I really like that I can deploy edits to my website now simply by pushing changes to the remote repository.
For short-form stuff, I’ve got a Micro.Blog site at social.joshuapsteele.com. I love that I can cross-post from there to Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon, where I have accounts.
That just leaves my Facebook, Instagram, and X accounts floating outside of my Hugo/GitHub/MicroBlog hub.
I feel like I don’t use Micro.Blog to its full potential. And, since MB uses Hugo under the hood, I’m wondering if there’s a way to consolidate all of my joshuapsteele.com stuff in Micro.Blog, instead of having my main site live on GitHub.
Consolidating with MB seems like an easy decision, and I’m leaning in that direction! But the main thing holding me back is the apparent necessity of using MB’s web interface to make any kind of under-the-hood modifications to MB sites. If I could interact with my MB sites like I’m able to with my GitHub/Hugo site, I’d be 1000% on board.
So, Micro.Blog experts: Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too? Am I misunderstanding the web UI limitations of modifying MB sites? If you were in my situation, how would you have things set up? What’s tools/interfaces would you use to post to and edit your MB sites?
(Also, is there a straightforward way to import my main site content from GitHub into MB?)
Thanks for any help and/or recommendations you’re able to offer!
I feel dumb asking this (I’m a software engineer, but, hey, I spend 99% of my time on backend development, not web stuff!), but: Is there a way to have things set up on Micro.Blog so that I can edit my website locally (say, in VS Code) and push changes to a remote repository?
OK, I’ve almost got my personal website switched from WordPress to Hugo and ready to go at joshuapsteele.github.io. I think I’ll stick with GitHub Pages for now, but I’m wondering if I should do anything more to tie it to my Micro.blog?

Any SVG/Hugo/PaperMod experts out there have an SVG heart icon for omg.lol that would work well alongside the social icons included with PaperMod? I’ve got a full-size, full-color SVG, but haven’t figured out how to alter it to make it look right on my homepage. #hugo #paperMod #svg #webDesign

Another Hugo/PaperMod question : Why won’t standard Markdown image links (starting with an “!”) render correctly?
I’m trying out Hugo at joshuapsteele.github.io. So far, I like the PaperMod theme, but is there an easy way to to override the built-in homepage options so that my own “/content/pages/home.md” gets loaded as the home page? #hugo
Seriously, though. I love my kids, but parenting sucks a lot of the time, and I feel like I’m going crazy. I want out of this “3 under 6” phase.
