All banner (full-width) images on the site are my own unless they link to an external source. I release my photos under the same license as this blog; the licenses of others' work vary.

The site is served from S3, but through CloudFlare's CDN. The CDN caches everything on edges. These edges respect the caching header set on individual files. CloudFlare also sets a browser cache expiration of 30 minutes for all content (if a longer one is not specified, see below).
After deploying to the gh-pages branch, Cloudflare's cached content is invalidated.
Search is done using lunrjs through the middleman-search plugin. In summary:
- Activation and configuration.
- Inclusion in
all.jssprockets file. - jQuery to connect the search box to lunrjs.
- Set up for search box and results.
