I wondered if I would be able to make a module for the InfoOrbs that would display an eye on each screen?&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;em>tl;dr; if you want do dive straight in, the code is &lt;a href="https://github.com/d4rr3ll/roundyfi-eye">here&lt;/a>&lt;/em>&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>How I Built the Blog</title><link>https://www.darrelltaylor.com/article/blog-build/</link><pubDate>Sun, 15 Oct 2023 17:08:59 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://www.darrelltaylor.com/article/blog-build/</guid><description>&lt;p>A short guide outlining how I built this blog using &lt;a href="https://obsidian.md">Obsidian&lt;/a>, &lt;a href="https://gohugo.io/">Hugo&lt;/a>, &lt;a href="https://github.com/">Github&lt;/a>, and &lt;a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/">Cloudflare&lt;/a>.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This builds on some of the excellent things posted by various folks previously, the initial inspiration for this came from &lt;a href="https://notes.vasuagrawal.com/2022/02/setting-up-a-blog-with-hugo-obsidian-and-cloudflare/">Vashul Agwaral&lt;/a>, which lead me down the rabbit hole of various other useful bits and pieces listed below:&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>&lt;a href="https://blog.x1sec.com/posts/obsidian-to-hugo-github-pages-action/">Obsidian to Hugo based static Github pages&lt;/a>&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;a href="https://blog.marco.ninja/posts/2023/08/25/my-publishing-pipeline/">My Publishing Pipeline&lt;/a>&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>The blog currently uses the excellent &lt;a href="https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/bilberry-hugo-theme/">bilberry-hugo-theme&lt;/a> to make it look nice.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Normally I would have gone down the &lt;a href="https://pages.github.com/">github pages&lt;/a> route to host this, but I&amp;rsquo;ve recently been building something else (that warrants a whole other post at some point) and really started to get into all the functionality &lt;a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/">Cloudflare&lt;/a> offer on their free tier. That&amp;rsquo;s also one of my main criteria for all of this, everything is free.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Welcome</title><link>https://www.darrelltaylor.com/article/welcome/</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Oct 2023 15:56:47 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://www.darrelltaylor.com/article/welcome/</guid><description>&lt;p>Welcome to the blog, lets see what this turns into!&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
