"textContent": "What ideas has Simon Cox had lately?\n\nNews page\nGreat idea and implementation from Pierre Carrier\nan idea I am shamelessly copied, with a bit of reworking! Though it might be easier to do in v3 11ty with the new 11ty images. It wasn't. The news page experiment is live - though I have had to no-index the section for the moment as I'd prefer the crawlers to crawl the whole site.\n\nSpotify lists\t\nSo Spotify bring out a list of what you have listened to during the year - which is always very insightful though the one for last year did not reflect my memory fo what I thought I had listened to! Then I found out that Spotify will send you your data as json files. Takes a few days to arrive but I now have 8 json files of my listening habits from 2010 to 2024 and it is fascinating! I now need to find a way to do something with the data for myself. \n\nMastodon Favourites\nWe all use social media in different ways and I tend to bookmark items on Mastodon that I'd like to go back to and dig in deeper later on. It's a bookmark after all and that’s why I have always bookmarked things.\n\nWhat I'd like to do is pull the bookmarks I have made into this site as a page of content - along with any images and links. I'm sure it can be done with the API call but I have not yet had time to think it through.\n\nTo take it a step further if I could by adding additional tags to categorise them - that might be helpful!\n\nThis has now been completed as the bookmarks page and is live.\n\nContent Management System for 11ty\nI have built a lot of websites with a lot of different Content Management Systems, 18 different ones at the last cound and I have not built a single site with Wordpress! This site is in 11ty and I adore 11ty but to update this site you have to be a nerd. I'd like to find a CMS that I can use with 11ty creating the site but with a CMS that anyone can use easily. I have tried the Netlify CMS and its ok but tied into Netlify. I recently read about Pagescms.org and will give that a go at some point. I also want to try using Kirby as a headless solution - because I think Kirby is a terrific CMS - it used to run this site for a while.\n\nAutomation for URL discovery and redirects - Tech seo\nI'd like to automate matching up old URLs with current content or existing content with websites in development using scripts to find the most appropriate or likely content. Should really be able to did this with AI but we are not quite there yet so it might have to be python.\n\nChrome extension for testing schema\nA chrome extension that helps me understand a pages schema dn suggests schema types that I could add to the page. Have now been building this for a while and it has its own Simon’s Schema page.",
