22 - Landing + About + Style Unification¶

Today I reworked the homepage into a real landing page using HTML blocks in docs/index.md.

I wanted the page to feel like a front door for the whole site instead of just another markdown page.

Top section now has the big title, then a boxed area with the controls.

What I changed¶

Added a proper landing layout with:

Search uses MkDocs search by sending queries to search/ with q=....

Also fixed the latest journal link logic so it points to the newest dated journal path and not a broken .md URL.

Built a dedicated About Me page in docs/about.md and filled out the full content.

Included:

I styled the standard MkDocs content pages to match the landing/about visual language.

Changes included:

After rollout, I fixed two issues:

sidebar section titles (Archive, Table of contents) visually overlapping nearby links
background seam appearing while scrolling on long pages

Also removed the entire bottom footer area, not just the generator text.

I renamed the docs directories and updated references so routing still works:

Updated nav and links to match this, including homepage cards and internal markdown references.

Site now feels consistent end-to-end, with the landing page and MkDocs pages sharing one style system.

Homepage acts like a real front door with quick access to:

About page is now complete, and the docs area visually aligns with the rest of the site.
