Removing descriptions from blog posts.

I’ve decided that for each post I don’t need both the description and the title. I noticed that when creating a new post there is an extra step by having both the titles and descriptions. So the descriptions are out. Simple is good.

Thankfully I only had two posts so removing the descriptions across the codebase was fairly easy. Search for all occurrences of “description” across the project and remove what is no longer needed. I found some ‘SITE_DESCRIPTION’ fields so those will stay. In some Integrated development environments(IDE) you can find and replace occurrences of a word or symbol. They can also show you how many occurrences of a particular thing there are. Very useful thing to know and use. In this case though the markdown files are parsed and the html is generated, so that wasn’t possible in this case. I highly recommend learning how to search on your devices. Computers are fast, and being able to lean on their processing to scan large screens of text is amazing.

Here we’re going to keep it a little shorter than previous days. Posts will no longer have descriptions. Just titles, dates, and the content. I’m content with that.
