This page details the things I had to do to set up this blog.
Initial Setup
References:
Automated Build
Using the nikola-action Github Action. Notably, I had to reference v8 even though the README says v4.
Source: main.yml
I had to use a custom action to do the Nikola build; see this page for how to do so.

Backfilling old posts
I have some old blogs which have vanished from the internet (but not from the Internet Archive). I used this tool to convert their HTML to Markdown so I could import them here.
