 I've recently fallen in love with <code>org-mode</code>, specifically when I use it with <a href="https://www.orgroam.com/">org-roam</a>. I find the whole workflow of creating, tagging, and - later on - searching for information on my computer to be very elegant. On top of that, now that I have the time, I want to begin writing blog posts to better work out my thoughts. With both of these things in mind, I am again turning to the universal tool for human prospering: <code>org-mode</code>. This time, I want to see how it can help me turn a simple org file into a blog post on my website. My requirements are:

 Next thing on our list is custom styling. This can be achieved by first installing the <code>htmlize</code> package from <code>melpa</code> / <code>elpa</code>.  The EmacsWiki describes this as "a package for exporting the contents of an Emacs buffer to HTML while respecting display properties such as colors, fonts, underlining, invisibility, etc" (<a href="https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Htmlize">reference</a>). If used "out-of-the-box", the buffer will be exported to HTML with all of the styles inlined (e.g. if you underline something in your org file, you will generate a <code>&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;</code>).  However, we are more interested in styling everything by ourselves: we don't want <code>htmlize</code> making assumptions about what underlining means to us! Luckily, <code>htmlize</code> gives us the option to export with class names instead of inline styles so that we can specify each style for ourselves.

+I've been meaning to do these little blog-post type updates for a while, and I figured now is as good a time as any. So let's start :)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In the world of miracle-wm, I've been hard at work writing a new settings application for the compositor called <a href="https://github.com/miracle-wm-org/miracle-settings">miracle-settings</a>. While the application is written in Flutter, the logic behind the application is entirely implemented in <code>libmiracle-wm-config.so</code>, a new library that will ship with miracle as part of <code>v0.6.0</code>. If Flutter isn't your cup of tea, you should be able to implement your own settings app for miracle in the language/toolkit of your choice by simply binding to the C (or C++!) API.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I also implemented <a href="https://wayland.app/protocols/wlr-output-management-unstable-v1">wlr-output-management</a> in miracle and changed how we do display configuration in a big way. The display configuration will now always be loaded from <code>$HOME/.config/miracle-wm/display.yaml</code>. Users should now be able to use apps like <a href="https://github.com/artizirk/wdisplays">wdisplays</a> to change the output configuration at runtime, which is pretty cool!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On the Mir project, I've been working on accessibility features (e.g. magnification) in addition to exposing some facilities for compositor authors to write end-to-end tests for Mir-based compositors. These new testing facilities should help us write tests in miracle in a big way.
