I won't make excuses for why it took so long to fix the GtkD 
Coding web site. Let's just say it was a puzzle, but it's working 
now. Terribly sorry it took so long.

Forgot to say...

I did a relatively comprehensive test of the site, but may have 
missed something. If you find any broken links, missing images, 
etc. please let me know.

I can't guarantee I'll see posts on here (I don't think it's 
possible to get notifications) so you may have better luck 
reaching me at:

Very nice indeed.

Just a tip, you can run: 
https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-rontarrant-github-io-gtkDcoding/o7tfo8nh05?form_factor=mobile

It will give you some info about stats and compression of images 
to make it load faster.

Thanks, Matheus. I didn't know about that site. Good info.

Considering my TODO list (and the one my wife is assembling for 
me now that she's retired, too) it could be a very (very, very) 
long time before I get around to doing anything to speed up page 
loading on (I'm assuming) a mobile device. I make this assumption 
because it loads so fast on my desktop that it blows my hair 
back... what's left of it (hair, that is). Sorry about that.

The main thrust over the last three months has been to find a way 
to keep the blog available without a custom URL and without 
Jekyll (which seems to need updating every fifteen minutes and 
has become so much of a pain in the a** I just can't deal with it 
any longer.) It didn't take three months to rewrite the site, but 
it _did_ take that long to find a way to avoid rewriting it from 
scratch while keeping all the original functionality of the site.

Over the next year, we're gearing up to buy a house (our first!) 
so everything else will be taking a back seat (although, spare 
moments here and there may find me back behind the keyboard now 
and then.)

Thanks for the input, mate. It's much appreciated.

Hello,

here is a version of your blog still using Jekyll, this was 
mostly an educational step for me to how hard it is.

i will keep it for some time.
