Breadcrumb Strategy

This is my example and working breadcrumbs page. It’s public so that you can see what’s going on and so you can see the kinds of things I really put in my breadcrumbs instead of something faked or mocked.

Breadcrumbs are my way of getting back to where I need to be after having been distracted (perpetually) or really sidetracked, as I was for nine months before finally getting back to this project. When I did come back, these digital breadcrumbs were sitting in my repository, checked in, versioned in case I ever need to look back, and reasonably safe from birds. I also talk more about Following Breadcrumbs if you’re curious.

Bookmark TODO

Stuff that I know I need to do and actually wrote down, instead of investigating GitHub Issues or setting up Jira.

• TODO: Figure out spelling and grammar checking, I’m honest enough to know I need it and vain enough to want to look good, professional, call it professional
• TODO: navbar styling for multi-word links is unclear that it’s a single entry and spacing is a little tight
• TODO: summarize CI/CD ramble posts into a decent how-to on setting thigs up
• TODO: browse for preventing problems https://blog.webjeda.com/tags/

Quickstart Notes if you kinda Remember

Static site in Jekyll, if you’re viewing this page you’re either:

• running Jekyll locally bundle exec jekyll serve and looking for local build url
• and you probably want the switches --future --drafts OR
• You’re possibly on assumeforsimplicity.com and curious, maybe about breadcrumbs.
