A blog for my mother. She plans to write about historical stuff. The domain name she chose is a play. The concept is that she is going to write from a lesser known perspective. Hence url is read as "missing dots in history/handloom/culture".
- Hugo > 0.55.0
- git-lfs
This project has been configured to work with Forestry. It uses custom front-matter, sidebar setting to make working easier for my mother. Import the repo in forestry to get started automatically.
