blaisedelaney.science - Changing Basis.

My personal blog to share my Ph.D. experience - toughts, code, theory and events.

Disclaimer: This blog was conceived to share my own personal experience and in now way is intended to represent any Institution I may be affiliated with.

Features

• CRUD capabilities for author
• CV or short summary of career, aside
• About: academia and maybe something more personal
• Twitter and GitHub Buttons as part of layour for default and post at bottom centre
• Blog Posts with assigned tags
• Tag search engine
• Techical section: code and Physics/Maths (probably within all blog posts intially with assigned tags).
• Teaching
• Tutorials
• Blogs Structure: class > (stream/series) > tags
• Each blog post should have a snippet (i.e. an abstract available for preview)
• Each blog post shoudl have a "quote" summarizing the content at the end
• Probably worth introducing two main pages: About>(Resarch, Teaching) and Blog>Streams/Series
• Blog posts should be listed with date/stream/summary of content (limited character abstract) - distinction may be rendered better by using 3 colours mimicking the gradient of header
