Static Comments is a plugin for Pelican, a static site generator written in Python. It is meant as a drop in replacement for the Pelican Comment System.
Static Comments allows you to have a comment section on your Pelican blog, while maintaining your blog as a completely static webpage and without relying on any external services or servers; just an email address is required. Comments are stored as text files, similiar in structure to Pelican articles. This gives you complete control over the comments appearing on your site and allows you to back them up with the rest of your site.

AutoLoader is a plugin for Pelican, a static site generator written in Python.
AutoLoader is a “meta plugin” in that it doesn’t directly affect your Pelican site, but rather works to make your other plugins better. By way of background, Pelican 4.5 added the ability to autoload plugins that exist in the pelican.plugins
namespace. This plugin allows you to extend this autoload ability to any arbitrary namespace. In particlar, it defaults to extending this ability to my minchin.pelican.plugins
namespace, and thus will autoload my other plugins, if installed. It can also be used to add plugin autoloading to earlier version of Pelican.

We are now finished up the second Christmas season overshadowed by Covid (and hopefully the last!).
On one hand, it provides a nice excuse to stay home and have a quiet holiday. But it’s also been almost two years since we’ve been able to visit some extended family due to border closures. We ended up in the middle: we had some extended family travel this way, and other family gatherings happened, although with several absences due to people in Covid quarantine.

I’ve just released a groundbreaking version of my website theme Seafoam; I believe this is the first Pelican theme designed to configure itself!
The root of this magic is that the theme has actually been packaged as a namespace plugin for Pelican. If you’re running a sufficiently recent version of Pelican (i.e. v4.5 or newer), Pelican will automatically load the Seafoam plugin; if you’re using an older version of Pelican (or other, non-namespace plugins), you’ll need to add the Seafoam plugin to you configuration:
