For today’s IndieWeb Create Day, I finally updated the layout on my article permalinks. Several years ago, I started updating non-homepage pages to use a streamlined template with a smaller header logo and navigation links beside it. I kept putting off the article permalinks because a lot of messy, custom code piled up in it over the years. The end visual result is not a huge difference, but it will make maintenance a lot easier going forward.

I improved some of the layout in the article footer while I was at it. I moved my author card to the very bottom of the page, instead of putting it between the article footer and responses. That let me remove the links to jump to the response, which was kind of a weird experience before. I also set the metadata (published date, tags, syndication links) to be right-aligned, matching the layout on the rest of my posts.

Here is what it looks like now:
