Building a blog the lazy-but-clean way

This portfolio was vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript — no framework, no build step, zero dependencies. I wanted a blog without throwing that away.</p>

So the blog is a bolt-on: Zola generates /blog</code> from Markdown and reuses the portfolio's stylesheet. The home page stays hand-crafted.</p>

A bit of code, to check that syntax highlighting works:</p>

fn</span> main</span>() {</span></span>
    let</span> greeting</span> =</span> "</span>Hello from the blog</span>";</span></span>
    println!</span>("{</span>greeting</span>}");</span></span>
}</span></span></code></pre>
And inline code</code> renders with the accent color too.</p>
That's the whole idea: write Markdown, run make blog</code>, push.</p>
