Today, I do something that I should have done 5 years ago, and something that I’ve been putting off for the last 2 years1: I’m releasing a personal fork of jrnl2! I’ve given this release the codename Phoenix, after the mythical bird of rebirth, that springs forth renewed from the ashes of the past.

AutoLoader Plugin 1.2.0 for Pelican Released

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. Previously, the plugin was set to autoload plugins in my minchin.​pelican.​plugins namespace, and thus will extend that to my minchin.​pelican.​readers namespace.
