And to be fair, I appreciate the same in return. I want to feel understood and considered, and a genuine apology even from someone who didn't mean to hurt me soothes the pain.

Slippery slope and too easy to be "Well, I didn't mean it _that_ way." I'm easy with apologies in my personal life. Professional life, I have to be a bit more reserved saying "Thank you for letting me know" vs "I'm sorry" but with friends? No problem, I'm sorry when I hurt them no matter the intent.

This did give me an idea tho! Perhaps we can have rotating holiday themes, like our cookbooks. And make the cookbooks the center pieces. Look how cute!

Oh this is horrifying. The one with fresh context + read md. I discarded all the changes and now I'm trying with the old full-context window, so we can compare!
Now I didn't say "Best practices UI/UX" this time around. I usually do to get me the designs I love, like dbatools.io and mutesky.app.

It was 5 for me but that actually gives me a lot of confidence in Kagi's results. They also linked a frikken Tripod site!! Haven't seen that in years, and we should. Love Gumbo Gator's throwback designs. Loads fast, has real, no frills Cajun recipes.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the site being more "ours".
Theming it on our terms, adding the exact functionality we want with little to no barriers.
Can't wait to see what it'll look like! Our initial thoughts are a modern retro feel, like the folksy 2002 site, freshly updated 🌶️🦞🚀

I'm a WP plugin author and even had Matt Mullenweg over at my house for gumbo/Microsoft party back around 2006. Still got the SQL Server swag and good memories from that.
And still, I admit that the whole WordPress ecosystem is/was torture.

Now the site will be secure. No more sleepless nights worrying if this will be the week I'll have to SURPRISE! Spend 4 days recovering from a hack and updating the whole system and the WordPress base and the plugins.
And it'll be so fast, we won't need AMP. THAT was expensive. And ugly.

Can't wait till Brandon wakes up and I can show him the site! It's felt inaccessible to him since the 2014 WordPress migration because there were had SO many plugins to manage the advanced content types and the AMP and the this and the that.
A total nightmare AND we've been hacked countless times.

(I even asked claude to install gh cli, because I had no idea which version of Linux my throwaway VPS is running and don't want to figure out its package system.
That was the first time I vibed Linux hobby administration in-depth and I *loved* it.)

So I've exported all of our recipes and I'm redoing the website in Hugo. And I'm going to do AI SEO galore.
(As an aside, omg, I logged into my VPS, installed claude and had it do all of my exporting! I didn't have to relearn WP CLI. I didn't have to figure out the sql schema or how even to login.)

![Terminal screenshot showing a migration report labeled "2. User Accounts & Authentication Data ❌" and "3. Individual User Ratings/Reviews ❌." It states that 52,595 registered users were *not* exported, including usernames, emails, profiles, social login data, and user roles, meaning accounts can't be migrated to the new Hugo site. For ratings, only aggregate rating arrays (e.g., [5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5]) were exported, allowing average ratings to be calculated, but data on who submitted each rating and when was not included. The red ❌ marks indicate missing or failed data migration elements.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oqmead6vafy6py7otaam7whk/bafkreidybm4zddycoi64kbiggt77t4dz4zeeg6kn35qkw5mgpeqsw466mu@jpeg)

TURNS OUT! AI SEO is exactly what I've been thinking Google rankings should be and used to be.
AI works by making connections between words. They value authority. They value authenticity. It's not all about fake ass backlink farms and keyword stuffing.

And eventually, Google was like "you need to PACK in keywords and tell 4 page long stories!! Keep them on site FOREVER!"
And we're like fuck no! We're not going into invent long, dumbass stories and piss people off when all they want is a beignet recipe.

Google should be smarter and see that a LeMaire and an Abshire run this site and have since 2002 and we don't need to add a new recipe with a fake 32nd gumbo variation to ensure our site is "fresh".
It's a Cajun recipe site, there's a finite number of recipes and 1500 is already too much.
