Might as well learn the framework
I originally went with the digital garden plugin so I didn't have to think about the underlying framework. Ironically, once I decided I wanted something like my daily notes being programmatically sorted and displayed from newest to oldest, I spent more time screwing around with my site instead of putting up more notes. but is that such a bad thing? I suppose it just takes my learning in a different direction.
Increasing Resiliency
Reviewed some notes on Mindfulness .
added graph generation and hidden graph nodes to my site. Still can't get transclusions to work though! It should work right out of the box, but I suspect when I gave cursor some leeway to make changes to the javascript and nunjucks files it broke something. Alas!
